Minnesota Vikings
We’ve made it through the first quarter of play at SoFi Stadium, and your Minnesota Vikings trail the Los Angeles Chargers by a score of 7-0, and the home team is in position for more.
The Vikings got the football first after the Chargers won the opening coin toss and chose to defer to the second half. Myles Price took the opening kickoff out to near midfield, but. . .as we’ve come to expect. . .there was a holding penalty on the return to negate it. Carson Wentz found Justin Jefferson for a big gain on the Vikings’ first third...

Because we have an early game this week, we’ve made every effort to get you the results of this week’s SB Nation Reacts poll about our Minnesota Vikings before kickoff, and we have those results for you here now. Let’s get to them!
First off, we had our standard question about how confident everyone is in the direction of the team. As expected, after the loss to Philadelphia in Week 7, we’ve officially hit a new low for the year.
Of those who responded to our poll for this week, only 31% believe that the purple are heading in the...

Hello everyone, and welcome to the Week 8 Minnesota Vikings roundtable here at Daily Norseman. The Vikes are coming off a loss to the Eagles at home. Now they’re not only on the road, but also on a short week.
Can the Vikings beat Justin Herbert or will they be yet again turned aside by a well-known quarterback?
Let’s find our wives and head to P.F. Changs to talk to it.
Brandon Warne: I’m a simple man, so I...

I sure hope that Carson Wentz’ status as the starting quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings, during the showdown versus the San Diego Chargers on Thursday night football, is conditional. I want to believe there was a conversation that went something like this:
KO: “Hey, Carson, I need to talk to you for a moment.”
Wentz: “Sure. What’s up coach?”
KO: “We decided we are giving you the start against the Chargers”
Wentz: “Thanks Coach, I won’t let you down.”
KO: “I want to believe you Carson, so show me you can bounce back.”
Wentz: “Absolutely...

The Minnesota Vikings go on the road for Thursday Night Football against the Los Angeles Chargers. Both teams are coming off disappointing performances on Sunday. The Chargers started off 3-0 with impressive wins over the Kansas City Chiefs and the Denver Broncos. However, they’ve lost three of the last four, with the only win during the skid a 2-point win over the lowly Miami Dolphins. The Vikings have alternated wins this year and are looking to continue that trend with a win in tonight’s game. If they do, it will be the Vikings first Thursday Night win since they defeated...

Hello again, sports fans. We’re back with another season of putting together a consensus power ranking for the Vikings each week. Coming off the loss to the Philadelphia Eagles, I am not expecting much….but here goes nothing.
Let’s talk to it (rankings are hyperlinked for maximum clickage):
Key excerpt: “…in short, this wasn’t the kind of performance that should give Kevin O’Connell any sort of hesitation to go back to J.J. McCarthy; a move that we’ve expected all along feels certain now.”

Note: After this was uploaded, it was confirmed that Carson Wentz (as expected) will be the starter Thursday night.
The Philadelphia Eagles entered U.S. Bank Stadium and laid out the red carpet for the Vikings to grab a season-defining, narrative-flipping victory. After coming together in a collective huddle to think it over, KOC and company said, “Nah, we’re good.”
It was classic Vikings for anyone who has been a fan longer than it takes to brew a pot of coffee. Snatching defeat from the jaws of victory has been commonplace for this franchise, and we added yet another chapter to...
