Minnesota Vikings
It’s that time of the week where we take some time and talk to this week’s opponent about what Minnesota Vikings fans can expect when their team takes the field this Sunday.
This week, it’s time for our second NFC North divisional matchup of the year as the Vikings travel to Ford Field to face the Detroit Lions. That means talking with the folks from Pride of Detroit, SB Nation’s home for everything relating to Lions football. I exchanged questions this week with Ryan Mathews from PoD, and you can see my answers to his questions right here. Here are...

The Minnesota Vikings and Detroit Lions have issued their second injury reports in advance of Sunday’s game at Ford Field. Here they are (changes in bold):
Not many changes for the Vikings from yesterday. It looks like Christian Darrisaw is getting his...

I am hoping for a competitive game on Sunday and to see JJ McCarthy look the part provided he has ample protection. That would definitely portend well for the future of the Vikings. I have to believe he is going to thrive eventually just because I think KOC has a good eye for QBs. I am not giving up on the season even with a loss. This is the kind of game that a team can surprise especially when everyone is counting them out. The offense is going to need to sustain as long of drives as they can to...

The Minnesota Vikings have lost three of the five games since J.J. McCarthy went down with a high ankle injury. Carson Wentz did his best and kept the team afloat for a few weeks. McCarthy took a little longer than many expected to return from the injury. The last two weeks of Wentz were two weeks too many. The season is still young and the team is still in a decent position to make a run. However, the NFC North division leaves the Vikings little room for error. The division is likely out of reach already, but the Wild Card...

“Ah – Playoffs? Don’t talk about — playoffs?! You kidding me? Playoffs?! I just hope we can win a game!” — Jim Mora.
The good thing about this gig is that it doubles as therapy. Writing has a way of easing the mind and spirit amid the emotional roller coaster of being a Minnesota Vikings fan. While there are moments – heck, even months – of elation in any given season, the only thing that’s ever guaranteed is disappointment.
Warren Ludford did an outstanding job touching on the general mess the Vikings find themselves in, while Christopher Gates followed it...

Hello again, sports fans. We’re back with another season of putting together a consensus power ranking for the Vikings each week. Coming off a blowout loss to the Chargers, this could get ugly.
Let’s talk to it (rankings are hyperlinked for maximum clickage):
Key excerpt: “The good news is that J.J. McCarthy appears set to return in Week 9 against Detroit after missing five straight games. The bad news is that the pass protection remains a huge issue.”

Good news for the Vikings as Christian Darrisaw, J.J. McCarthy, and Andrew Van Ginkel were all full participants in...

The Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 season has taken a markedly negative turn over the past couple of weeks, and now they’ve got a tall task ahead of them in Week 9 as they head to the Motor City to take on their division rivals, the Detroit Lions.
The Lions have had Minnesota’s number in recent years, as they’ve won the last five games in this series. The last time these two teams met, the Vikings were watching the #1 seed in the NFC slip away, as a game that was only a one-score deficit going into the fourth quarter wound up...

Following the season-ending injury to Carson Wentz, the Minnesota Vikings needed a quarterback to fill the spot behind J.J. McCarthy and Max Brosmer on the team’s depth chart, and it appears as though they’ve found someone.
Per Tom Pelissero of the NFL Network, the Vikings are signing quarterback John Wolford to their practice squad.
Wolford, the nephew of longtime NFL offensive lineman Will Wolford, was an undrafted free agent out of Wake Forest following the 2018 NFL Draft. He signed with the New York Jets but was cut by them after their training camp finished. He then wound up with...

As they prepare for their Week 9 meeting on Sunday afternoon, the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions are heading in opposite directions, and that is reflected in the early betting odds for this one.
The Vikings are an 8.5-point underdog heading into this weekend’s matchup at Ford Field, with the over/under currently sitting at 48.5 points, according to the FanDuel Sportsbook.
As we know, the Vikings have dropped their last two games, including a 37-10 throttling on Thursday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. In that one, the Vikings had no answers for anything the Chargers did offensively,...

After the Carson Wentz impending surgery and move to IR, the Vikings will need to add another QB to the team. The current raging topic is about how the team and, specifically, KOC handled Wentz in the Chargers game. There are plenty of fans who feel it was inexcusable to leave him in the game when he was clearly in a lot of pain at times. There are others (like myself) that feel Wentz wanted to be out there and KOC did OK since he did ask him throughout the game if he was alright. I am sure this will...
