The Atlanta Falcons finally beat a team they were supposed to. Their three previous wins this year had come against Vikings and Bills teams expected to be far better than they actually are and the Commanders before they came apart completely, while their losses came to the Panthers (twice!) and hapless Dolphins, as well as […]
The wait continues for Seattle Seahawks safety Julian Love. Seahawks head coach Mike Macdonald told reporters prior to Wednesday’s Week 13 practice for the Minnesota Vikings game that Love will not be designated for return to practice, thereby ruling him out for this Sunday. It’ll be Love’s ninth missed game of the year, having only […]
Looking ahead to the Seattle Seahawks Week 13 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings, the injury report isn’t getting any shorter. In addition to the expected “Did Not Participate” from Ty Okada and George Holani, who were both injured against the Tennessee Titans, the biggest surprise may be Uchenna Nwosu also being out with an ankle […]
With J.J. McCarthy in concussion protocol and having missed team reps on Wednesday, it is looking more and more like Max Brosmer will be starting for the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday against the Seattle Seahawks. In theory, if the Vikings win the rest of their games this season, they could make the playoffs. But with […]
The Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks have issued their first injury reports of the week in advance of their Sunday afternoon matchup at Lumen Field. Here they are: Minnesota Vikings For the Vikings, J.J. McCarthy remains in the concussion protocol and was limited to individual drills on Wednesday, while Max Brosmer took first-team reps and […]
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 […]
In Today’s Links: thoughts on the Seattle Seahawks’ pass rush, Kenneth Walker IV deserves even more touches, another Seahawks-centric mailbag including memories of Kenny Easley, power rankings, Quandre Diggs is back, reflections on Sunday’s road win versus the Titans, and more! The reset has arrived and our squad prepares for the uneven Minnesota Vikings. Dive […]
The Green Bay Packers didn’t make up much distance in national power rankings this week. 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 […]

Vikings suffer worst Lambeau loss to Packers since 2007 (23-6) and J.J. McCarthy is now in concussion protocol — is this the moment Kevin O’Connell finally turns to Max Brosmer? Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano deliver the raw, unfiltered reaction every purple-blooded fan needs after Sunday’s disaster. On the latest “The Day After” episode of […]
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 […]
The Green Bay Packers strolled to a win over the Minnesota Vikings that only saw their defense play a total of 44 plays, so the team should be relatively rested for their upcoming game against the Detroit Lions on Thanksgiving. Let’s take you through all of the changes on the team’s depth chart, along with […]
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 […]
