Assessing the Mess (and Week 8 Preview!)

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...

Vikings Open Practice Window for RB Aaron Jones

Vikings Open Practice Window for RB Aaron Jones

It looks like the Minnesota Vikings will soon be getting some help in the backfield. How soon? We don’t know yet, but it could be as early as this Thursday when they face the Los Angeles Chargers.

The team has announced that they have opened the practice window for running back Aaron Jones, and he could be added to the active roster in time for Thursday’s game. He was listed as being “limited” in Tuesday’s walkthrough practice.

Jones hasn’t been on the field since Week 2, when he suffered a hamstring injury in the Vikings’ loss to the Atlanta Falcons....

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: The QB Decision

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: The QB Decision

Losing that game really sucked because it was there to be won. In my opinion, the play of the QB doomed the offense on some critical plays. There were a couple of plays that seemed boneheaded. You really do not expect a veteran QB to do dumb things or not see a player in the flat that is wide open (expecially when it may have been the first read). This season is beginning to turn and it might get uglier. By the time JJ comes back the team could be looking further up at other teams in the playoff hunt....

Vikes Views: Player of the Game – Week 7 Eagles at Vikings

Vikes Views: Player of the Game – Week 7 Eagles at Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings were defeated at home by the Eagles 28-22. That doesn’t mean everything was bad. There were some solid performances on offense and defense. The team moved the ball effectively between the 20s. Here are a few players that stood out to me.

Jordan Addison

Addison has played well since returning from his early-season suspension. Addison had 9 receptions for 128 yards, but that could’ve been more. Wentz missed several throws, including a deep pass that led Addison out of bounds, where he could have scored. Addison was open all night and the Vikings were unable to take...

2025 NFL Week 8: Minnesota Vikings at Los Angeles Chargers

The Minnesota Vikings will look to avoid their first losing streak of 2025 as they make a trip to the West Coast on a short week.

In Week 8, the Vikings will head out to Los Angeles to face the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium, a scenario similar to one they faced last year when they traveled to the City of Angels on a short week following a loss. Vikings fans are, obviously, hoping for a much better ending this time around.

Even with a short week, there will be some controversy around the quarterback position for the Vikings....

Minnesota Vikings Odds: Vikings Road Underdog on West Coast

After a tough loss in Week 7, the Minnesota Vikings will have a tall task ahead of them as they attempt to avoid their first losing streak of the 2025 NFL season. The early betting odds certainly reflect that sentiment.

According to FanDuel, the Vikings are currently a 3-point underdog as they prepare to head out to the West Coast to face the Los Angeles Chargers on Thursday Night Football. The over/under for points in this one currently rests at 43.5.

This is a similar scenario to what the Vikings faced last season. They suffered a loss to Detroit early...
