We’ll always have the fourth quarter of Week 1. First and foremost, happy Thanksgiving to everyone in the DN family. It’s a time to be grateful for the things that truly matter in life: family, friends, health, and happiness. It’s also a helpful distraction from the fact that the 2025 Vikings are the equivalent of […]

Despite beating the Minnesota Vikings, it seems like analysts are only giving the team about half credit for beating J.J. McCarthy. Which, to be honest, is fair. Let’s take a look at this week’s batch of power rankings, including some […]

The Minnesota Vikings announced that starting QB J.J. McCarthy is in concussion protocol. Typically, it’s nearly certain this will lead to McCarthy missing at least one week. Based on averages, 25–30% of players return the same week, another 25–30% the following week, and 80% return before the three-week mark. Many factors influence recovery, including the […]

Emanuel Wilson is one of the best stories to emerge from the Packers’ Week 12 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. His unexpected 107-yard outburst is the Packers’ highest rushing total of the season, and it caps off a long road to something resembling stardom for Wilson. Once a small school star, Wilson was the man […]

After scoring a TD to take a 7-3 lead on their opening drive, the Green Bay Packers’ defense held the Minnesota Vikings to a punt. And what a punt it was: Ryan Wright hit a beautiful coffin corner punt that shot sideways out of bounds at the 2-yard line. That set the Packers up in […]

Now that Minnesota Vikings’ quarterback J.J. McCarthy has been placed in the concussion protocol, it seems likely that backup quarterback Max Brosmer will get the start on Sunday against the Seahawks, although Kevin O’Connell said he’d wait to see how things go before making a decision on who will start at quarterback in Seattle. Brosmer […]

The Washington Commanders evaluated QB Jayden Daniels after the bye week, and he’s unlikely to play against the visiting Denver Broncos on Sunday Night Football per multiple reports. He is expected to return to practice this week, but the likely target is Week 14 when the Commanders visit the Minnesota Vikings. Jayden Daniels suffered an […]

My, how the turntables have turned. While Sam Darnold was out decidedly not throwing four interceptions, his replacement in Minnesota threw two of them, posted a 17.9 QBR and came home with a bad headache. That’s right folks, JJ McCarthy has entered the NFL concussion protocol. Can he navigate this any better than he does […]

When the NFL schedules came out back in May, the Week 13 matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Seattle Seahawks was looked at as being the “Sam Darnold Revenge Game.” It still might be, although at this point it might be the sort of revenge that you generally see in a movie produced by […]

The quarterback situation for the Minnesota Vikings has just gotten a lot more complicated. During his Monday morning press conference, head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters that quarterback J.J. McCarthy is now in the league’s concussion protocol, and that it’s “too early to tell” who the team’s quarterback will be when the team travels to […]

The final score of the Tennessee Titans and Seattle Seahawks game was much closer than expected against a 1-9 team (and maintained the streak of games between the two teams that were decided by just one possession). This didn’t seem to matter in the projection for the next game against the Vikings, and FanDuel Sportsbook […]

The Minnesota Vikings faced the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, and it was an embarrassing loss, 23–6. The Vikings’ offense was pathetic. The special teams continued to be a mess. The Packers weren’t asked to do much offensively and were held in check for most of the day by a decent defensive performance. Emanuel Wilson […]

I’m playing both sides, so that I always come out on top. Basically all season, and as recently as last week, I wrote that the Green Bay Packers need to lean harder into Jordan Love and a very efficient passing game if they’re going to be a threat in the NFC this year. And yet, […]

Where did all the feelings go? What about that happy glow? Was that so long ago, when we were first in love? -Neil Young, Mr. Disappointment When J.J. McCarthy hit Jalen Nailor on a 3rd-and-5 to seal a victory at Ford Field over the Detroit Lions, it really felt like the Minnesota Vikings had finally […]

Beat Wisconsin. The best word I can come up with to describe this season is “meh.” Beating Wisconsin won’t make this season magical, but it will at least keep it in the “meh” ballpark. The Gopher offense is not very good and kind of boring. The Gopher defense is bad, and seemingly getting worse week […]

For once, the Green Bay Packers played complementary football in all three phases on Sunday afternoon. The offense, defense, and special teams all got into the act, powering the Packers to a dominant 23-6 victory over the Minnesota Vikings. The defense was arguably the most impressive unit on Sunday, however. The team has now allowed […]

Micah Parsons recorded his ninth and 10th sacks of the season against the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday, joining some elite company in the process. He and Reggie White are now the only players in NFL history to record 10 or more sacks in each of their first five NFL seasons. For his part, Parsons doesn’t […]

After a miserable loss to the Green Bay Packers, a game in which J.J. McCarthy continued to struggle, the Minnesota Vikings face an increasingly difficult path with McCarthy’s development. The increased difficulty comes as McCarthy appears to have lost confidence after six games of ongoing accuracy and other issues. The Vikings’ game plan against the […]

Green Bay Packers head coach Matt LaFleur doesn’t care who is in the backfield. He’s going to run the football as much as he possibly can. In their first stress-free win since Week 2, the Packers ran 65 offensive plays in a 23-6 win over the Minnesota Vikings. Of those plays, 42 of them were […]
