Jordan Mason showed why the Vikings traded for him this offseason, running four times for 20 yards. But it was third-year running back Zavier Scott who stole the show, running seven times for 40 yards, helping spearhead a 94-yard touchdown drive in the second quarter.

The Minnesota Vikings ' rookie draft class got their first NFL action in Saturday's 20-10 victory over the Houston Texans. Four of their five picks played, as tight end Gavin Bartholomew remains on the PUP (physically unable to perform) list with a back injury.

The first-team offense moved the ball down field with ease, without the offensive line allowing a single pressure. As a result, Davis Mills, who got the start at quarterback while C.J. Stroud rested, completed 4 of 5 passes for 50 yards and a touchdown.
