The Washington Commanders will visit our Minnesota Vikings on Sunday. The two teams are out of playoff contention and are playing out the string. This should’ve been a juicy matchup of two second year QBs, but injuries and poor play have dampened the mood. After a 3-2 start, the Commanders have lost seven straight. Their last win came on October 5. Jayden Daniels looked like the future of the NFL in his rookie season, but he’s only been on the field for half of the team’s twelve games. The Vikings have been inconsistent all season, dealing with quarterback injuries of...

We’re getting close to another Minnesota Vikings game day, and this week we’ve gotten an opportunity to sit down and get some intel on the opponent for this week.

This week, I’ve exchanged some questions with with Andrew York of Hogs Haven, SB Nation’s home for everything relating to Washington Commanders football. Once they post my answers to Andrew’s questions, I will get them linked up in this piece. For now, here are the questions that I sent Andrew’s way and his responses.

**1) Much like the Vikings, the Commanders have had a truly awful 2025 season after a highly...

It seems like there is at least half the people that visit here who want to see KAM and KOC fired based on my rudimentary perusal of the comments in the 12/02 News and Links post. I said in that post that I did not think it is going to happen. I still feel that way but am OK if others want change. I will debate it though.

The latest “nugget” comes from KOC’s presser in which he basically said he just want JJ to focus on playing instead of fundamentals. If you have been watching any former players talk...

Two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams in this 2025 season are set to meet this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium as the Minnesota Vikings will play host to the Washington Commanders in Week 14 NFL action.

These two teams combined for 26 regular season victories in 2024, and the Commanders advanced to the NFC Championship Game before losing to the eventual Super Bowl champions. This season, through the first thirteen weeks of the season, they’ve combined for just seven victories. The Vikings have lost their last four games in a row and are coming off of their first shutout...

As a Vikings fan, declaring any situation “rock bottom” is always a perilous proposition. This is, after all, a franchise that once “missed” a draft pick, becoming a subject of national ridicule, and had its stadium roof collapse, serving as a perfect symbol of a terrible season. Coincidentally, that same season saw a head coach quickly burn through goodwill at a record-breaking rate. Whether that record still stands after this season remains to be seen.

Since joining the DN as a contributor, I’ve always taken a glass-half-full approach to our favorite team. Optimism is preferable in life. However, I’ve not...

Welcome to SB Nation Reacts, a survey of fans across the NFL. Throughout the year we ask questions of the most plugged-in Vikings fans and fans across the country. Sign up here to participate in the weekly emailed surveys.

Well, folks, it’s time for this week’s installment of our SB Nation Reacts survey about our Minnesota Vikings. We’ve got a second question for you to answer this week, so let’s get to it, shall we?

Our first question this week is the standard question about whether or not you think the Vikings are going in the right direction. We were...

The latest episode of The Real Forno Show — hosted by Tyler Forness with producer Dave Stefano on Vikings 1st & SKOL — is the raw, no-holds-barred autopsy every Minnesota Vikings fan needs after the humiliating 26-0 shutout loss to Sam Darnold and the Seattle Seahawks. Fresh off a beach in Mexico, an enraged Forness declares this collapse feels worse than the Josh Freeman game and rivals the 1984 Les Steckel disaster, ripping into coaching stagnation, front-office failures, Max Brosmer’s nightmare debut, and a franchise that looks completely lost at 4-8.

Key takeaways from the nearly hour-long firestorm:

The Minnesota Vikings are no longer in the playoff hunt. The team is breaking in their new QBs and it’s not gone as planned. We’ve reached the point where the age-old argument starts. Do you root for the team to win over the next five weeks, or do you actually want to see the Vikings lose out? There are plenty of people that will tell you what makes one view better or worse or what makes you a true fan. I’m not worried about that and I’m not passing judgement either way.

Why root for a win?

Winning “culture” is...

It will be a battle between two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium when the Minnesota Vikings play host to the Washington Commanders. Given the way that the early betting lines have flip-flopped, it’s hard to say who the sharps view as the bigger disappointment.

When the folks from the FanDuel Sportsbook opened the betting lines for this one on Monday morning, they had the Commanders listed as a 1.5-point favorite (as our friends over at Hogs Haven documented). Just 24 hours later, however, that line has been reversed, as they are now showing...

The competitve part of the season is pretty much over and was over before the Seahawks game. Nothing that happened in that game is that big of a deal to me including the 4th down play that resulted in the pick six. The team would only have a 11% chance of making the playoffs if they had somehow won the game.

The season has been a disaster. Injury to offensive linemen and a couple of key defenders (for a little bit) really have hurt. But the play of the Quarterbacks has been the main reason why the offense is abysmal....
