Everything you need to know about how to watch the Vikings at Bengals game in the NFL preseason live stream online

One of the big surprises in the 2015 NFL season was definitely the Minnesota Vikings. Though fans expected them to show improvement, no one could’ve foreseen just how good they were. What’s scary, though, is that the Vikings likely will be better in 2016. They’ve improved an already dangerous defense and added more weapons on the offense. Friday night will offer a window into these improvements as the Vikings visit the Cincinnati Bengals in the NFL preseason.

Teddy Bridgewater is expected to big things for the Vikings in the 2016 season and rightfully so. The quarterback doesn’t possess the biggest arm, but he’s shown what he’s capable of. Now with rookie receiver Laquon Treadwell alongside Stefon Diggs, he could look even better. Moreover, you can never rule out the importance of Adrian Peterson being a stalwart in the offense. However, Peterson playing seems unlikely on Friday.

For the Bengals, the team lost numerous pieces on the offense. Now it feels very much like Andy Dalton and AJ Green praying Tyler Eifert can shoulder a big load. Also on the offense, the Bengals hope that either Jeremy Hill or Giovani Bernard can affect the game as a featured back. Defensively, though, the Bengals remain solid. Geno Atkins destroying guys on the line is alway helpful in that regard. That being said, it also helps that their staff coaches the personnel better than most in the league.
