Week 2 Old Friend Update: How former Minnesota Vikings fared last week
Maybe I’m just speaking for myself, but I do like to keep tabs on former Minnesota Vikings players across the league. And so as a result, here’s a look at how former Vikings fared in Week 2 (if I missed someone, feel free to leave it in the comments and I’ll amend it posthaste): Detroit […]

Minnesota Vikings in the Power Rankings — Entering Week 3
Writer’s note: Hey all. I meant to get this out sooner, but I’ve been swamped with work (I’m working Panthers-Browns this weekend), and I’ve been sick besides. My apologies. Hello again, sports fans. We’re back with another season of putting together a weekly consensus power ranking for the Vikings. Raise your hand if you’re here […]
Vikes Views: Who Ya Got? Minnesota Vikings at Tampa Bay Buccaneers
The Minnesota Vikings sail into Tampa Bay to take on the Buccaneers this week. After a very competitive loss against the Bengals in Week 1, the Buccaneers lost to the lowly Cleveland Browns. Tampa will be looking to turn around their luck against the 2-0 Vikings. The Viking offense has not looked great, as some […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Three In A Row?
The win vs the Bears in those conditions was what the team needed. They were fortunate to get the punch out on the goal line for sure. But that was a well timed punch so it was just not blind luck. A little luck though. If the Bears score, I am not sure the offense […]
The Nonsensical J.J. McCarthy Trade Rumors Have Started
If you haven’t noticed, there has been quite the rash of injuries at the quarterback position around the National Football League. Whether they’re bigger names like Sam Darnold, Jayden Daniels, and Caleb Williams (who is now week-to-week after selling the injury he suffered against our Minnesota Vikings like Marty Jannetty going through the barbershop window), […]

Isaiah Rodgers Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Week
The defense was the story for the Minnesota Vikings in their 9-3 victory over the Chicago Bears this past Sunday, but one of their players was recognized on Wendesday for their contributions on special teams. Cornerback Isaiah Rodgers was named the NFC’s Special Teams Player of the Week on Wednesday. He’s the first member of […]
Week 2 Observations: A Messy but Satisfying Win
The Minnesota Vikings won a hard-fought but ugly 9-3 victory over the Chicago Bears on a wet, messy Soldier Field Sunday to move to 2-0 in the young 2026 season. They’ve now won seven straight on the road against the Bears; better yet, that puts them 2-0 in the NFC North (and NFC) in the […]
Vikings/Buccaneers Coverage Map: More Limited Viewing in Week 3 Late Window
The Minnesota Vikings will once again be relegated to the late afternoon window in Week 3, and because of that the area where you’ll be able to view them live on over-the-air television is a bit more limited than it has been over the first couple of weeks of the season. The folks from 506 […]
Vikings Add Johnny Hekker, Jaret Patterson to Practice Squad
On Tuesday, the Minnesota Vikings made a couple of practice squad moves, at least one of which points to a potential issue with the club’s special teams unit. The team has announced that they have added punter Johnny Hekker and running back Jaret Patterson to the practice squad. To make room, the team has waived […]

Kyler Murray Clears Concussion Protocol, Will Start Against Tampa Bay
As they prepare for their third game of the 206 NFL season, the quarterback carousel for the Minnesota Vikings has spun once again.

Dallas Turner, Jalen Redmond, and the Vikings’ Defensive Identity
Minnesota is 2-0 after a sloppy 9-3 win at Chicago, and on The Real Forno Show Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano argued that the real story is belief: a Flores defense that can close, a run game that is finally getting volume, and enough luck to survive a backup-QB weather game. Forness opened with the […]
Vikes Views: Nincompoop of the Week – Vikings at Bears
The Minnesota Vikings dismantled the Chicago Bears offense to cruise to a 9-3 victory. There weren’t as many glaring mistakes as you’d typically see in such a low scoring game, but there’s always someone to blame. Here’s my nominees for Nincompoop of the Week. Ben Johnson All we hear about is the offensive genius Ben […]
Vikings Week Two Stock Market Report
The Minnesota Vikings won an ugly game at a rainy and sloppy Soldier Field on Sunday 9-3, making it a 2-0 start to the season- both against division opponents. Stock Up Brian Flores. His out-generaling Ben Johnson and holding the Bears to 3 points, after crushing the Packers last week with his unique blitzing scheme, […]
Vikes Views: Sunday King – Vikings at Bears
The Minnesota Vikings visited the Chicago Bears and the result was the same as it has been for quite a while now: a Vikings victory. Minnesota has now won seven consecutive games at Soldier Field, a stadium that used to be a house of horrors for Vikings fans. The offense never really found its rhythm, […]
Vikings Set Another Unique NFL Record In Win Over Bears
It wasn’t necessarily pretty, but the Minnesota Vikings did just enough to get a victory on Sunday afternoon at Soldier Field, knocking off the Chicago Bears by a final score of 9-3. It was their seventh consecutive victory in Chicago and their seventh straight victory dating back to last season, but it also allowed them […]
Vikings Win Battle of Field Goals, Defenses Over Bears at Soldier Field
After the Minnesota Vikings and Chicago Bears combined for 98 points in Week 1, it was reasonable to expect more offensive fireworks when the teams got together at Soldier Field in Week 2. And what unfolded was about as far from that as you could possibly get. It was nothing but field goals on a […]
Justin Jefferson Passes Randy Moss on Vikings’ Reception List
The Minnesota Vikings found Justin Jefferson early in their Week 2 matchup against the Chicago Bears, and with that, Jefferson continued to climb the ladder in the team’s record books.
