Isaiah Rodgers — the Vikings’ new free agent CB — ranked 6th among all qualified CBs last season in PFF man coverage grade

Glen Taylor’s 30 years of Timberwolves ownership will go down as one of the worst tenures in NBA history…

A storyline to watch tonight... Earlier this season, Brian Flores blitzed Jared Goff on nearly 60% of his pass attempts. Goff went 15-for-16 vs. those blitzes, averaging 10 yards per attempt.

Sam Darnold is providing the best single-season QB play the Vikings have had since 2009. Big plays down the field. Athletic ability. Keeping plays alive. Imagine posting this 6 months ago...

Sam Darnold is a baaaaad man

How dare FOX cut away from that Cam Bynum choreographed celebration!

What a win for the Vikings. Short week, traveling west, playing desperate, GOOD Seahawks team in one of the toughest road environments in the NFL.

Samuel Richard Darnold.

Wait... What? There's no way that was a clean TD. Did they not review it?

Geno Smith is trying very hard to give this game away. But the Vikings have dropped two game-changing INTs...

Really rough sequence for Vikings defense these last two drives... Allow Seattle to go 88 yards on 5 plays to end the 1st half. Then Shaq Griffin drops an INT, allowing Seattle to kick a game-tying FG. Oof...

Oh hey, Dallas Turner!

That's a wild penalty to call... Pretty sure KOC was caught on camera, laughing, telling one of the officials, "That's Justin Jefferson"

30 TDs for Sam Darnold. He joins a short list of Vikings QBs to ever throw for 30 TDs in a season. Darnold Kirk Cousins (3x) Brett Favre Daunte Culpepper (2x) Randall Cunningham Warren Moon

Wow. What a drive to start the game by the Vikings.

OK, so a fan just ran onto the court and got arrested. She was presumably protesting the pathetic 2nd quarter effort by the Timberwolves, so it's tough to blame her...

KAT is absolutely *cooking* the Timberwolves tonight. Wolves getting booed. It's not even halftime yet.

Julius Randle clearly felt left out with all of the KAT discussion this week. 13 points in the first 7 minutes of the 1st quarter...

We're up to two KAT tribute videos with 5:31 still left in the 1st quarter! I want tribute videos every timeout. Go all in. And maybe one in every five tribute videos we can sprinkle in some trolling... Like an offensive foul montage or something...

Posted up at Target Center for Knicks-Timberwolves! KAT spent some time in the Wolves locker room earlier, per Chris Finch. And KAT just walked out of the tunnel for pre-game warm-ups to a big applause from the fans who are here early. He took a minute to look around and soak things in.

It's not about the benching. It's what the benching represents.

Kevin O'Connell is now 32-16 as head coach of the Vikings.

Dallas Turner alert!

Before tonight's game, I ran into a family of four making their first trip to U.S. Bank Stadium. They saved up money all year for tonight's game, just hoping to see referee John Hussey and his crew making some BIG calls. A night they'll never forget!

Great play-calling adjustments by Kevin O'Connell on that Vikings TD drive. It has felt all night like the Bears defense is refusing to let Sam Darnold hunt down the field. So, run the ball! The Vikings did on that last drive. Gashed the Bears.

Just like a punt...

Jonathan Greenard has legit become one of the best edge rushers in the NFL overnight

Big Leg Bill is back!

Lesson learned today: Stop letting non-elite QBs hold your NFL franchise hostage

I am very happy 😂

I, for one, am just glad the Vikings convinced Justin Jefferson not to bolt in a panic last offseason...

Kirk Cousins career 5 TD games: 0 Sam Darnold career 5 TD games: 1 Vikings 42-point performances in Kirk Cousins era (88 games): 1 Vikings 42-point performances in Sam Darnold era (13 games): 1

Today is a great day for Darnold Defenders across America

Vikings fans… Please… Check in on your friends who thought the franchise would crumble... #ButIWasTold

The best game of Sam Darnold's career. On the day Kirk Cousins returned to U.S. Bank Stadium. Symbolic, on many levels.

Sam Darnold has been absolutely incredible today. Big time throw after big time throw, even in the face of heavy pressure.

Sam Darnold with an absolute SAVAGE play. Possible play of the year for the Vikings. Wow.

Vikings kicker controversy?

Kirk Cousins surgical on that first drive. One thing Cousins has *always* been great at is bouncing back when it seems like the sky is falling.

LOUD boos for Kirk Cousins to start the game

Today feels like Kirk Cousins’ Super Bowl

Kirk Cousins made the 3rd most starts of any QB in Vikings history, behind only Fran Tarkenton and Tommy Kramer. What will Cousins most be remembered for as a Viking?

Just two guys who have combined for 7,000 NFL receiving yards in 5 years… Had a blast hosting an event with Justin Jefferson tonight! He signed for 150+ fans at the Minnesota Vikings museum. I think he has a chance to be a pretty good NFL player someday…

Sam Darnold when blitzed this season (per @pff): 134.3 passer rating (1st) 10.6 yards per attempt (1st) 12 "big time throws" (1st) 85.1 PFF grade (3rd) 69.3% completions (6th) 8 TDs 0 INTs

Today, Sam Darnold became the 3rd QB in Minnesota Vikings history to post a 100+ passer rating in 10 different games in the same season. 2024 - Sam Darnold (10 times) 2009 - Brett Favre (10) 2000 - Daunte Culpepper (10)

It is now officially Kirk Cousins Week for the Minnesota Vikings, who welcome the Atlanta Falcons to town next Sunday. Sam Darnold this season: 102.5 passer rating 83.1 PFF grade 23 TDs 10 INTs Kirk Cousins this season: 91.8 passer rating 72.4 PFF grade 17 TDs 13 INTs

Kevin O'Connell is now 30-16 as an NFL head coach. A .652 winning percentage -- the 5th best regular season winning percentage of any active NFL head coach. KOC is also 13-8 in games started by Sam Darnold, Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullens and/or Jaren Hall.

What a comeback win for the Minnesota Vikings. Let's talk about it on Vikings Vent Line -- Purple Daily YouTube channel! 📺 https://buff.ly/3OpV1rc

The always reliable Aaron Jones!

Headed into today, the Cardinals defense had allowed a *total* of 31 points since Oct. 27. Vikings need 7 right now.
