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.

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 […]

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 […]
