The Minnesota Vikings and Tennessee Titans head into tonight’s NFL preseason schedule football game with their starting quarterbacks already in place, and now their backups will get the opportunity to make their case for who should be the number two man on each roster. The Vikings have named Matt Cassel their starter over rookie Teddy Bridgewater, while the Titans will be turning to Jake Locker this season. Tonight’s game will air on some TV channels and also live online.
Teddy Bridgewater made a fairly strong case to become the Minnesota starting quarterback as a rookie, but the veteran Cassel ultimately beat him out for the job despite the fact that the rookie had the better performance of the two last week against Kansas City. Either way, the Vikings offense will continue to be centered around star running back Adrian Petersen, if he can stay healthy and remain on the field. Jake Locker has looked strong enough for Tennessee this preseason to hold off some strong flashes from rookie Zack Mettenberger, who should see significant playing action in tonight’s final exhibition game.
Tonight’s Minnesota Vikings at Tennessee Titans NFL preseason football game has a start time schedule of 8:00pm eastern time, 7:00pm local Nashville time, and will air on local network TV channels in the Tennessee and Minnesota television markets - though it won’t be on national television. The game will also air live online at NFL.com.
