Minnesota Vikings set record for fewest rushing attempts in game against Buffalo Bills The Minnesota Vikings gave up on the run in Sunday’s game against the Buffalo Bills. They ran the ball so little Womens John Miller Jersey , they set an NFL record in the process with just six rushing attempts. That’s only been done twice before in NFL history. It almost wasn’t even that many as you’re about to see.With starting running back Dalvin Cook sidelined, the Vikings still had Latavius Murray (776 career rushing attempts) and rookie Mike Boone in the backfield, they just chose not to use them much. Each had two carries along with two Kirk Cousins scrambles to tie for the team lead in rushing attempts.Here are the play-by-play notes:On Minnesota’s second drive, they opened with a rush on 1st and 10 by Murray for 2 yards.The next play, Boone gained no yards on 2nd and 8.Boone gained Minnesota’s first first down of the game, rumblings for 11 yards on 2nd and 7 on the third Vikings possession of the day.With six minutes left in the first half http://www.buffalobillsteamonline.com/jordan-poyer-jersey , Murray received his next handoff and lost a yard setting up 2nd and 11.On Minnesota’s first drive of the second half, Cousins fumbled the 2nd and 1 snap and recovered the ball for a 4-yard loss. It was an accidental rushing attempt.The first play of the fourth quarter was a 2-yard Kirk Cousins scramble.Had it not been for the third quarter fumble, the Vikings would have stood alone with the fewest rushing attempts in NFL history. They had zero called running plays in the second half. They went more than 36 minutes of game time without calling a running play.The other two games with six rushing attempts are fairly recent, as well. In 2004, the New England Patriots set the NFL record against the Pittsburgh Steelers. It was matched two years later by the Arizona Cardinals playing against the Minnesota Vikings. All three teams with six rushing attempts in a game lost, as you might expect. The Buffalo Bills battled the New England Patriots for three quarters this past Sunday Womens Ryan Groy Jersey , before finally succumbing and being put away in the fourth quarter. The strong defensive effort on the day wasn’t exactly spearheaded by the rookie class, but they did find themselves as strong contributors to the effort. On the offensive side, the two rookie wide receivers recorded reception despite limited snap counts. More about the performance of each rookie below.LB Tremaine EdmundsEdmunds was picked on a few times by Tom Brady and the Patriots in underneath coverage, as the team was able to get him matched up with elite slot receivers Julian Edelman and James White. While those instances were certainly glaring, he also had a fair number of positive plays, such as a tipped pass in coverage early in the first quarter or his tackle-for-loss of James White early in the second quarter. Unfortunately Womens Vladimir Ducasse Jersey , Edmunds sustained a concussion on a tackle and was ruled out of the second half of the game.DT Harrison PhillipsPhillips made his presence felt on a few run plays, particularly on stretch runs. The rookie defensive tackle is incredibly well-balanced when moving laterally, and solo tackled the running back on a few occasions. He does persists on being a no-show when rushing the passer, which continues to be something he needs to improve on in the following games.CB Taron JohnsonThe Patriots game plan was mostly predicated on attacking the linebackers in coverage so Johnson wasn’t targeted much as a result. One of the few times he was targeting in coverage, the receiver, Chris Hogan Authentic Dion Dawkins Jersey , committed offensive pass interference. His tackling was characteristically spot-on, although he only had two, one of which was for a loss.S Siran NealNeal once again saw himself solely assigned to kick-return team duties and did have a decent block to spring Marcus Murphy for a 30-yard return. Unfortunately that return was negated by an unnecessary roughness call on Logan Thomas.WR Ray-Ray McCloud IIIOnly targeted once, McCloud actually made the most of his 11 offensive snaps in snagging a 16-yard reception from Derek Anderson in fourth quarter garbage time on a dig route. WR Cam PhillipsA week after making the Bills’ roster, Phillips recorded the first regular-season reception of his professional career against the Patriots. His nine-yard reception came on a crossing route. Also only seeing 11 snaps on offense, it was an efficient day for the receiver.P Corey BojorquezThe rookie punter was reportedly playing through a shoulder injury sustained against the Houston Texans Authentic LeSean McCoy Jersey , which partly explains his poor day punting the football against New England. Only two of his five punts were downed inside the 20-yard line and he had two needless touchbacks when he should’ve attempted to pin the Patriots deep. After the game he was placed on Injured Reserve so we won’t see Bojorquez on the field again until next year. NotesStarting quarterback Josh Allen was inactive against the Patriots as he continued to recover from his elbow injury sustained against the Houston Texans.Rookie guards Wyatt Teller and Ike Boettger were again inactive.
