The Purple and Gold Standard
Going into the early slate of Week 15 action, the Minnesota Vikings had a very, very narrow road to the 2025 postseason. That road is now, officially, closed. With the Chicago Bears’ 31-3 demolition of the Cleveland Browns in the early slate this afternoon, the Vikings have officially been eliminated from playoff contention. The only […]

That’s right, ladies and gentlemen. . .it’s a full-on RED ZONE SUNDAY here at The Daily Norseman! We can sit back, relax, and watch the rest of today’s […]
It’s game day, ladies and gentlemen! But, for us, it’s going to turn into game night, as we’ve got a long time to wait today to see the Minnesota Vikings take the field. They’ll be facing off with the Dallas Cowboys on Sunday Night Football this evening, so it’s going to be a late night […]

We’ve got our SB Nation Reacts results for this week, and it looks like folks are finally starting to see a little glimmer of hope in what, to this point, has been a lost season. I suppose a 31-point victory has a way of lifting people’s spirits. Our only question for this week was the […]
UPDATE: Chandler has been downgraded to OUT for Sunday’s game. The Vikings will not be activating him this week. Yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys released their final injury reports ahead of their Sunday Night Football matchup in the Lone Star State. There’s been an interesting development for the home team that was […]

The Minnesota Vikings hit the road to take on the Dallas Cowboys for Sunday Night Football. If the team on the opposing sideline didn’t have a star on its helmet, this game might have been flexed out by the NFL. The Cowboys are clinging to their playoff hopes with their 6-6-1 record. Series Record: 15-19 […]
In the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, hosted by Tyler Forness with producer Dave Stefano on Vikings 1st & SKOL (partnered with Fans First Sports Network), the duo delivers an in-depth Minnesota Vikings vs Dallas Cowboys Week 15 Sunday Night Football preview. With the Vikings (5-8) desperately needing a win and help to […]
We fans are an interesting bunch. Everyone does it their own way too. There are a lot of emotions involved which often times leads to heated discussions. Before this season began, I would say that the majority of fans were expecting better results in terms of wins and losses. The same would be true for […]
It’s another prime time opportunity for our Minnesota Vikings this week, as we’ll be waiting all day for Sunday Night to see them travel to Jerryworld to take on the Dallas Cowboys. The Vikings are coming off of their most impressive performance of the 2025 season, a 31-0 shellacking of the Washington Commanders at U.S. […]
That performance was the reason I believed a 12-5 season was possible. True to the Vikings’ pattern of being inconsistently consistent, they became the first team since the 1992 Denver Broncos to be shut out one week, only to do the same to an opponent the next week. Also, true to Vikings’ style, it’s almost […]
The Minnesota Vikings and Dallas Cowboys issued their first injury reports of the week leading up to their matchup on Sunday Night Football in Jerry World. Here they are: Minnesota Vikings For the Vikings, lots of veteran rest days. But also lots of players working through minor injuries as we get closer to the end […]

It was a good day on Sunday in terms of being a Vikings fan. JJ and the team had a solid game. No complaints really. The goal now is to keep it up against Dallas which is going to be tough on the road. There is a lot of debate here about the “system” and […]
Hello everyone, and welcome to the Week 14 Minnesota Vikings postgame roundtable here at Daily Norseman. The Vikes are coming off a surprising shutout win over the Washington Commanders, with J.J. McCarthy looking better than he had before in any full game. Can the Vikings turn this into a streak? Before we look ahead to […]
The Minnesota Vikings shut out the Washington Commanders 31-0 on Sunday. It was the first time a team was shut out the week prior to a shutout victory since 1992. The defense was dominant and the offense was efficient. It was a beatdown from the start. It’s a rare treat to enjoy an easy win. […]

Even though they’re coming off of one of their best performances of the 2025 season, you’d probably expect the Minnesota Vikings to be a significant underdog in a road game against a team that still finds itself on the fringes of playoff contention, and that’s where they find themselves in this Sunday’s game against the […]
In the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, Tyler Forness and producer Dave Stefano deliver a balanced, film-heavy breakdown of J.J. McCarthy’s standout performance in the Minnesota Vikings’ dominant 31-0 shutout of the Washington Commanders. While the box score (16/23, 163 yards, 3 TDs, zero turnovers) sparked excitement and a much-needed vibe shift for […]
In a bit of a mild surprise, the National Football League has decided to keep a game that has just about no playoff implications in a prime time slot this week. The Sunday Night Football matchup at Jerryworld between our Minnesota Vikings and the Dallas Cowboys will remain in the Sunday Night spot on NBC, […]
I’ve never played the sport of football at a high level. I’ve never really played the sport of football at what you’d consider a medium level. Like a lot of folks, I’ve spent a lot of time watching football over the course of my life and would like to think that I’ve learned a few […]
I mentioned this in my post-game recap of the Minnesota Vikings’ 31-0 victory over the Washington Commanders in Week 14 action, but I figured it was significant enough to warrant its own highlight. By pitching a shutout on Sunday afternoon, this Vikings team became the first team in 33 years to follow up getting shut […]
Last Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings hit the lowest of lows in a thoroughly embarrassing loss to the Seattle Seahawks. On Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, they were just about as far away from that as they could possibly be. J.J. McCarthy had, by far, the best game of his young NFL career, and the Minnesota […]
We’re on to the fourth quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium, and your Minnesota Vikings are now blowing out the Washington Commanders by a score of 24-0. The Commanders got the ball first coming out of halftime after the Vikings won the coin toss and took the football first, and they moved the ball into Minnesota […]
