Jacksonville and Minnesota each fell one game short of the Super Bowl last season.

These teams had another important trait in common: dominant defense. The Vikings finished first in the NFL last season with both the fewest yards and points allowed, and that didn’t go unnoticed by the Jaguars.

They were second and, naturally, not pleased about it. These joint practices the teams conducted in Minnesota this week gave Jacksonville’s proud group an opportunity to show off those skills.

The two teams will face off Saturday afternoon in pre-season action on 570 WNAX.
