Watch Minnesota Vikings Vs. Denver Broncos Live Stream: NFL Preseason Week 1, Start Time, How To Watch
The Minnesota Vikings will soon get their first look at their prized new signing, former Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins, who signed a three-year, $84 million deal with the team in March, as USA Today reported. On Saturday, the Vikings will face the Broncos when they open their 2018 NFL preseason schedule, which will live stream from Mile High Stadium.
The team had to say goodbye to starting quarterback Case Keenum when the Vikings signed Cousins to that deal, which, as Inquisitr reported, briefly made him the highest paid player in NFL history until he was surpassed by Jimmy Garoppolo and then Matt Ryan.
But Keenum was quickly picked by none other than the Broncos, and he will face his former team on Saturday at Mile High. Nonetheless, Keenum told the Los Angeles Times that he holds no hard feelings toward the team that sent him packing.
“No, I love all those guys,” Keenum said. “No hard feelings.”
Whether Keenum or Cousins will see much of the field on Saturday remains in doubt. But Cousins says that the team’s training camp has already allowed him to adjust to a new offense, according to the Vikings official site.
“I do think we’ve been pretty solid, and the defense in practice holds their disguises a very long time—again, continuity, they know what they’re doing, they can trick you,” said Cousins. “But I think we’ve been on top of it for the most part, and it’s going to be good to go against some other defenses here in the coming weeks.”

Kickoff is scheduled for 7:05 p.m. Mountain Daylight Time at Broncos Stadium at Mile High in Denver, Colorado, on Saturday, August 11. In the Eastern Time Zone that start time will be 9:05 p.m., and 6:05 p.m. Pacific Time.
On defense, the Broncos posted only the 24th-fewest points allowed of any NFL team in 2017, giving up 382. But in terms of yardage, Denver remained a top-three defense, allowing just 4,640 yards on the season. That defensive unit remains largely intact with only the departure of cornerback Aqib Talib for the Los Angeles Rams putting a dent in the armor.
