Rookie Jared Goff’s first start of the preseason for Los Angeles featured two turnovers and one touchdown, as the Minnesota reserve running backs led a 27-25 victory by the Vikings over the Rams on Thursday night.

The Vikings won all four of their preseason outings.

Goff played the whole first half, finishing 6 for 16 for 67 yards. The first overall pick in the draft capped the first drive with deft touch on a 1-yard scoring pass to Kenny Britt.

Minnesota back Jhurell Pressley turned a short throw by Brad Sorensen into a 28-yard touchdown reception. Pressley also returned a kickoff 106 yards for a score, and C.J. Ham carried 15 times for 59 yards and a touchdown.

After each score, the Vikings showed off their new stadium by dimming the lights, blaring Prince’s hit “Let’s Go Crazy!” and flashing purple and gold bulbs around the ceiling.

The Vikings open their season on Sept. 11 at Tennessee.
