Conference Championship Weekend! It still stinks that the Vikings had no chance this year. Once again we are on the outside looking in.
It is great to get Flores back but there still is a lot to worry about with the offense. If it were not for Flores where would the Vikings have been the last 3 years?
I am going with the Patriots and the Seahawks. I think the Seahawks defense can carry the day at home but the Rams will be tough.
If the Seahawks go to the Super Bowl it is going to be great here right?
Insider Reveals Vikings’ Massive Trade Package for Joe Burrow
On Jan. 22, On SI’s Grant Cohn, a beat reporter covering the San Francisco 49ers, was debunking any speculation of the Niners trading for Justin Jefferson. However, in that same video, he mentioned that the Vikings are willing to make a huge trade offer for Cincinnati Bengals QB Joe Burrow.
