The Minnesota Vikings take on the Buffalo Bills on Thursday, Aug. 10 in the 2017 NFL Preseason. Here’s all the info you need to watch.

On Thursday night, the Buffalo Bills will kick off their season at home against the Minnesota Vikings. Buffalo looks to unveil a new attitude as the end of the Rex Ryan era is upon us with rookie head coach Sean McDermott taking the reins following a very successful career as a defensive coordinator.

McDermott is going to have some work to do as the team lost one of their best defenders in cornerback Stephon Gilmore, as well as some great receiving weapons in Robert Woods and Marqise Goodwin. They did add rookie wide out Zay Jones and free agent Andre Holmes — both of who should get some snaps early in the game with starting quarterback Tyrod Taylor.

As for the Vikings, they kick off a new era as for the first time since 2007, they enter a season without running back Adrian Peterson on their roster. They released him after an injury plagued 2016, and he subsequently signed with the New Orleans Saints.

All eyes will be on second-round pick Dalvin Cook, who takes over at running back for Peterson. Cook was incredible at Florida State, but had some off field issues which gave some teams pause when they considered him leading into the draft. Playing his first preseason game on his 22nd birthday Thursday will give him his first chance to prove the team right for taking a flier.
