The Minnesota Vikings couldn't overcome themselves last Sunday against the Ravens at U.S. Bank Stadium. Minnesota was in the fight, but played the opposite of complimentary football in a 27-19 loss. Currently sitting at 4-5, this week's game against Chicago is DO or DIE territory. Above all, the priority shifts to the health & development of JJ McCarthy! Connect With Us! Support the show
Signature win for the Vikings and JJ McCarthy in Ford Field last Sunday! Almost double digit underdogs, Minnesota stifled Jahmyr Gibbs & David Montgomery all afternoon. We've clawed our way back to 4-4 & finally have a relatively healthy team... Baltimore is a team with a major sense of urgency at 3-5. This is going to be a hard fought, heavyweight fight.

Vikings Fans were tortured last Thursday Night. A Meltdown in LA has led to many questions about where this team is headed. After a month & a half absence, our chosen QB JJ McCarthy is back under center. While the odds of a win seem nearly impossible at Ford Field... Wouldn't it be such a Vikings move to pull this one off? Connect With Us! Support the show
Carson Wentz showed some heart out there, but ultimately played far from mistake free football. Minnesota's defense was CARVED by Jalen Hurts, AJ Brown, & DeVonta Smith. MN had many opportunities to win this game... just couldn't get it done. Super frustrating to say the least. With a short week in LA on the horizon, Nick & Matt break down our QB situation & what we hope to see on Thursday Night. Connect With Us! Support the show
The Minnesota Vikings limped into the BYE week 3-2 after a hard fought win against Cleveland. Carson Wentz went 9 for 9 on the final drive before hitting Jordan Addison at the pylon for the game winning TD. Minnesota's BYE comes at a perfect time & gives us an opportunity to get healthy before a 4-game gauntlet of Philly, LAC, Detroit, & Baltimore. Admirable fill-in from Wentz, but it's time to get 9 back out there... Connect With Us! Support the show
Minnesota fought to the finish, but slow starts & turnovers are tough to overcome. The Vikings injury report is tough to look at, the BYE week couldn't come at a better time. If we can find a way to get it done in London, we limp into the bye at 3-2 with a chance to get healthy against the defending champs... SKOL Connect With Us! Support the show
Minnesota bounced back in a big way on the shoulders of a legendary performance from Isaiah Rodgers. The former Eagle scored 2 defensive TD's in the first half on the way to a 48-10 Victory. Carson Wentz played efficient, turnover free football & will look to stack solid weeks. Croke Park in Ireland will host it's first ever NFL game this Sunday between the Vikings & Steelers.

We are 1-1 with a fairly favorable 3 game stretch before the bye. Lock in & let's get 2 of these games, get healthy, & go on a run! Connect With Us!
