Philip Rivers is done for the day. He finishes 5 of 9 for 54 yards, 1 interception. Chargers lead Vikings 7-6 near the end of the second quarter.
Chargers DE Joey Bosa's replacement Darius Philon gets his first sack of preseason play, bringing down Teddy Bridgewater.
Vikings 12.....Chargers 10
Assuming he's done for the day after leading a two-minute drill for a touchdown, Teddy Bridgewater will finish 12-for-16 for 161 yards and a score, while running for 22 yards on one scramble. Bridgewater was sacked three times, but did an impressive job making throws in the pocket as defenders closed in on him. He also engineered the touchdown with three impressive throws in a row, finding Kyle Rudolph for a 27-yard touchdown after a 22-yard sideline strike to Stefon Diggs and a 19-yard completion to Charles Johnson.
Halftime.....Vikings 12.....Chargers 10
VIKINGS 12, CHARGERS 10 (HALFTIME): Though he was under more pressure than the Vikings probably would have liked, Teddy Bridgewater had an impressive first half in his return from the sore shoulder that kept him out last Thursday against the Seahawks. Bridgewater went 12-for-16 for 161 yards and a touchdown, also juking his way to a 22-yard run. Jerick McKinnon had a solid half, too, gaining 56 yards on eight carries, and Bridgewater found Stefon Diggs five times for 71 yards. The Vikings' concerns from the first half are familiar ones: Bridgewater was sacked three times, and Melvin Gordon scored the first touchdown at U.S. Bank Stadium on a 39-yard run after Audie Cole went for Philip Rivers on a blitz and Michael Griffin missed Gordon in the open field.
