After the Vikings’ starting offense largely sputtered in two preseason games, they celebrated a return to the Metrodome with a long touchdown drive.

The seven-play, 83-yard effort was capped by a 49-yard rainbow from new quarterback Donovan McNabb to receiver Bernard Berrian.

For the Vikings, the possible development of Berrian as a vertical option for McNabb would be very good news, given that Berrian was barely clinging to his roster spot a month ago.

The Vikings lead the Cowboys, 7-0.
