Three Keys
1) Do something. . .anything. . .on offense – This team hasn’t scored a point in six quarters. They haven’t scored a touchdown in eight quarters. The starting quarterback is a meme at this point of what’s become a lost season. It’s time for this offense to show something, because we’re to the point where people’s jobs are going to be in jeopardy soon, if they aren’t already. Hopefully we’ll see something more than we’ve seen over the past two weeks this afternoon.
2) Keep Jayden Daniels contained – The Commanders are welcoming back their dynamic signal caller for the first time since he suffered an injury to his non-throwing elbow in Week 9. Daniels is exactly the sort of quarterback who has given this team issues in recent years, and they’ll have to keep him contained in order to have any chance in this one. Of course, Brian Flores is going to blitz the hell out of him, so we’ll have to see how that all works out.
3) Win on special teams – We’ve seen lapses on special teams from this team all season. Not from Will Reichard or Ryan Wright, but from the coverage and blocking units specifically. If this team is going to win this one, they’ll have to take advantage of opportunities on special teams and give the offense short fields to work with in this one.

As always, we will start a brand new Open Thread at the beginning of each quarter, so keep your eyes open for those and be sure to move the discussion along accordingly.
Here’s hoping that, for the first time in quite a while, this team can give us something to actually cheer about today, whatever that might be.
SKOLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLLL VIKINGS!!!!
