Breaking Chainz: Vikings Dominate the Falcons

Dec 09 2024 58 mins  
When the clock started ticking for the fourth quarter in Sunday’s Vikings game versus the visiting Atlanta Falcons, Vikings fans were likely nervous as Kirk Cousins, returning to his former home, had pulled his new squad into a 21-21 tie at the end of the third. But the Vikings offense, thanks to the Purple passing game (which had been great all day), put up three scores to run a

Cardiac Vikes Cage the Cardinals

Dec 03 2024 66 mins  
The Minnesota Vikings, the league’s newest Cardiac Kids, beat the Arizona Cardinals 23-22 in the last minute at U.S. Bank Stadium. In a game in which the Vikings did not lead until those last minutes, the defense made the plays to secure the win versus a decent Cardinals squad. Now at 10-2 and remaining tied for the third-best record in the league—the Vikings are moving closer

Vikes Beat the Bears: A Win is a Win Until Nearly a Loss

Nov 25 2024 52 mins  
The Minnesota Vikings went to weird and wacky Solider Field and eked out a quirky 30-27 victory over the Chicago Bears to improve to 9-2. It was pretty at times and ugly late, but that’s the way of the Vikings in Chicago. They now have five wins in a row at Soldier Field and are coming off a 3-0 road trip, which is a nice bit of momentum for this squad embarking on a three-game h

Vikings Beats Tennessee, But Have Work to Do

Nov 18 2024 63 mins  
On Sunday afternoon, the Minnesota Vikings beat the hapless Titans in Tennessee 23-13. They didn’t dominate, although they could have, but it puts them at 8-2 and still one-game behind the Lions in the NFC North. That’s the good news. The bad news is a leaky secondary suddenly susceptible to the long ball; a defense benefited greatly by some questionable calls by the refs, the

Vikes Win is a Win—Though an Ugly one Over the Jags

Nov 12 2024 59 mins  
The final score in Jacksonville on Sunday resulted in a 12-7 Minnesota Vikings win over the Jaguars—but that in no way describes how it got there. The Vikings adopted a local strategy as age-old as their purple uniforms: play down to your opponent. They had the highest time of possession of any team this season and put together multiple double-digit-play drives but didn’t score

Vikes Come Back on the Colts (again) For the Win

Nov 04 2024 61 mins  
The Minnesota Vikings beat the Indianapolis Colts 21-13 at USA Bank Stadium to improve to 6-2 and a game behind the Lions in the NFC North. That’s what the agate type in the paper will tell you. But the reality was the defense once again led the team to victory while the offense spent some time shooting themselves in the foot. The offense eventually put up 21 points in the second

Vikings Lose to the Rams and Darrisaw For the Season

Oct 28 2024 58 mins  
As great as the opening quarter of the season was for Minnesota, the second quarter has been equally bad. The Vikings can play in the first quarter of games, but soon after that things begin to unravel. Add to that a season-ending knee injury to their best offensive lineman, Christian Darrisaw, and the Vikings’ trip to LA was anything but sunny. They may have come into the softes

Vikings Bubble Burst with a Loss to the Lions

Oct 22 2024 60 mins  
The Vikings’ perfect season has ended, but it is far from over. The Detroit Lions came to town and put together four consecutive scoring drives in the middle quarters, and that put the Vikings behind the 8-ball. They did battle and retake the lead in the fourth quarter with a scoop and score by Ivan Pace, but the offense didn’t hold up their end of the deal by getting a couple

Undefeated Vikings Head into the Lions Den

Oct 15 2024 57 mins  
The Vikings can separate themselves a bit from all NFC North challengers with a home win over the Lions and help to put away all the doubt that creeps in for Vikings fans when watching their favorite team in the second halves of games this season. The Vikings start fast and struggle out of the locker room in the second half and then hang on to win . . . every time. That last fact o

Vikes Win Again—By the Hair of their Chinny Chin Chins.

Oct 01 2024 67 mins  
The Vikings did it again! Yes, they beat the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau by a score 31-29 to remain unbeaten at 4-and-0 and alone atop the NFC North Division. But what seemed like déjà vu’ all over again was they made it difficult. The Vikings busted out to a very dominating 28-0 lead before muffing a punt, giving up a touchdown and ultimately scrambling to the finish line. We
