No matter who starts for the Vikings, the Eagles are coming into this game in a fowl mood. They do not want to have three straight losses. If the Vikings run defense is seriously a problem then the 4th ranked Eagles offensive line (per PFF) could really allow Saquon Barkley to go off. Now you could argue that the Eagles rush attack is not that good so afar and the offense overall has not been that good. While true, I think they are going to look at what the Falcons were able to do and try to repeat it. I...

We’re a bit late getting you our SB Nation Reacts survey results this week, but we’ve got them for you now.

Well, some of them, anyway.

The first question we wanted everyone’s opinion on, as we do every week, was whether or not you feel the Vikings are heading in the right direction. After a thrilling comeback victory in Week 5, things are trending back upward among the fan base.

After dropping down into the low 40% range last week, we’re back to a majority of folks thinking this team is going in the right direction, as 62% of our...

With the bye week firmly in the rear-view mirror, it’s time for the Minnesota Vikings to get back to work. They’ll have a tall task ahead of them coming out of their off week, as they’ll host the Philadelphia Eagles on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium.

The Vikings are coming off of a road trip that saw them serve as the road team for consecutive overseas games in different cities, a first in the history of the NFL. They dropped the first game of that trip to the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin, Ireland, by a score of 24-21. They...

After a couple of weeks overseas followed by a bye week, the Minnesota Vikings make their return to U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon to face the defending Super Bowl champions, the Philadelphia Eagles. Things have been a bit rocky for the Eagles over the past couple of weeks, but that doesn’t appear to have deterred the folks who make the betting lines for this week’s games.

According to the folks at the FanDuel Sportsbook, the Vikings have opened up this week as 2.5-point underdogs against the Eagles. The over/under for this one is currently resting at 43.5 points.

The bye week is officially over for the Minnesota Vikings, and they’ve gotten back to work on this Monday with some pretty significant news.

The team has opened the practice window for linebacker Blake Cashman, opening the path for him to return to the middle of the Vikings’ defense as early as this Sunday, when the purple host the Philadelphia Eagles at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Cashman was injured in the fourth quarter of the season opener, when he pulled up lame while chasing Bears’ quarterback Caleb Williams on a scramble attempt. The team placed him on injured reserve with a...

In this episode, Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano unpack the Minnesota Vikings’ bye week challenges, focusing on quarterback decisions, offensive adaptations, and team updates. With the team at 3-2 after a 2-1 run under Carson Wentz, the hosts analyze if head coach Kevin O’Connell should stick with the veteran or revert to J.J. McCarthy for long-term growth. They highlight Wentz’s solid stats like a 69% completion rate and 99.5 passer rating, contrasted by concerns such as a 41.5 QBR and high sack rate. Transitioning to offense, they praise O’Connell’s shift to quicker passes, evidenced by Wentz’s 2.43-second release against Cleveland,...

This is the one week this season where we fans of the Minnesota Vikings will not get to see their team in action. However, there is still a bunch of other games taking place around the NFL, and around here that can only mean one thing.

Yes, for the fifth time in six weeks this NFL season, it’s a RED ZONE SUNDAY here at The Daily Norseman, where we can just sit back, relax, and let the rest of the league unfold around us. If you’re watching the games this afternoon and evening, we hope that you’ll spend some of...

Ladies and gentlemen, it is time for our staff of learned pro football blowhards to put together their picks for Week 6 of National Football League action. We don’t get to watch the Minnesota Vikings this week, but there’s still a ton of other action around the league.

First off, here’s our widget where you can see how we’re doing this season, whether it’s for the whole season or any specific week for any of the picks we make.

Incidentally, if you’re the gambling type, you should take a look at what our own GA_Skol is doing with his over/under...

In the wake of the Minnesota Vikings’ 21-17 victory over the Cleveland Browns in Dublin a week ago, we mentioned a field goal attempt by Will Reichard that went wide right after it hit the wires that were holding up the SkyCam above Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Tonight, the NFL has, apparently, done something that it rarely ever does.

They admitted they were wrong. Sort of.

According to NFL insider Jordan Schultz, the Vikings appealed to the league to take the miss off of Reichard’s statistics for the season, citing the interference from the SkyCam. The league said that they would...

I am not a fan of the bye week but I realize that the players need it. If the NFL is ever going to 18 games then I can imagine that there will be two bye weeks. They might even expand the game day rosters by another couple of players. But the bye week is here and there are probably not any games I want to watch in their entirety. Maybe Kansas City vs Detroit? I’d want to see how Baltimore does against the Rams but only if Lamar Jackson plays.

I’ll have to figure something out though because the...
