Access Vikings morning walkthrough: Bridgewater banged up in big win, McKinnon breaks out, more

Every weekday, our Vikings reporters walk you through what's happening with the team that day.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

— The Vikings racked up 558 yards of offense while winning QB Teddy Bridgewater's first start.

— Bridgewater left the game with a sprained ankle and isn't sure if he can start Thursday.

— Fellow first-round pick Anthony Barr also made a major impact in the win.

— The Vikings offensive line bounced back after a pair of poor performances.

— WR Jarius Wright set a couple of career highs in the win.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES

— Former Georgia Southern star Jerick McKinnon gashed the Atlanta defense.

— There is no defending the Falcons defense after yesterday's performance.

— The Falcons lost three starting offensive linemen in yesterday's loss.

— The road has not been kind to the Falcons so far this season.

The Vikings have little time to enjoy yesterday's big win. They begin their preparations for Thursday night's game against the Packers today. Head coach Mike Zimmer is scheduled to be at the podium at 12:15 p.m. and the locker room will be open before the team's 4:15 p.m. practice.
