Vikes thread!

What the Viking's defense pulled off Sunday hadn't been done since 2006. Teams that have 3 picks & O touchdowns rarely get the W.

The defense bailed them out by getting the Jags off the field, but the other key to winning was the offense holding the ball (despite not scoring touchdowns).  Vikes offense had it for 42:19, which is the most in the NFL this season.

Looks like it was just an injection not surgery for JJ.  I read from some guy that the Vikes are trying to sign Justin Fields.  May all be BS for him to get clicks.... 19 mil a year.

Plenty of quarterbacks around who can't play. No need to spend over 5-7 million for one.

  I didn't find anything on Justin Fields maybe wearing purple anywhere, LPS. I did read that there's a good chance that the Vikes/Arizona game on Thanksgiving weekend will get flexed to Monday night though. Another said we could see more of a 2 TE set from KO'C today as that takes away a lot of of the 2 deep safety look & that should cut down on JJ getting doubled teamed so much too. The Titans do have the best passing D in the league allowing only 156.7 yds/gm, but are about the middle of the pack against the run.

That's why I said it was just from some guy about Fields.  I have not seen anything else about it so he was just trying to get clicks.

It would be nice to see them put the boot on the throat of bad teams, but they just don't seem to have it in them.

There have been several games this season where all they needed to do was grind out a 5 minute drive in the 4th quarter to put the game away, and they just can't do it.  They find a way to make it tense. 

The Vikes have their third "trap game" in a row coming up with da Bears.    The 4-6 Bears are literally 2 plays away from being 6-4 (a Hail Mary pass and a blocked field goal).  And the Bears beat the Vikes at home last year.

Not going to be anything easy about the Bears game.
