Latest news and updates about the Vikings
Even though he was not named to the Pro Bowl Games for reasons beyond the realm of my comprehension, Minnesota Vikings kicker Will Reichard did garner some recognition that no member of the franchise has gotten in quite a while. It has just been announced that Reichard has been named the NFC’s Special Teams Player […]
The NFL’s coaching carousel is officially spinning at full speed, and the news that all Minnesota Vikings fans were expecting to hear is now upon us. Numerous sources are reporting that the Baltimore Ravens have requested to interview defensive coordinator Brian Flores for their vacated head coaching position. The Ravens, in a move that came […]
Coaches are getting let go quickly. Several of the candidates could be possible replacements for Brian Flores should he go elsewhere. Jonathan Gannon might be nice. Who do you like if Flores leaves? The QB situation is, once again, unsettled and some would say a mess. I will always remain hopeful. Minnesota Vikings News and […]
We’re staring down the barrel of just the third ever Green Bay Packers-Chicago Bears playoff game in NFL history, and the Packers just played their junior varsity unit against the Minnesota Vikings. Generally, I don’t want to write too much about Green Bay’s Week 18 effort, but we should mention that seven players made their […]
The Green Bay Packers announced on Tuesday that the team has released backup quarterback Clayton Tune, who had -7 net passing yards against the Minnesota Vikings in a Week 18 regular-season finale that almost exclusively saw the Packers’ backup players receive playing time. Earlier on Tuesday, Packers head coach Matt LaFleur admitted that starting quarterback […]
Vikings enter 2026 offseason—key talks on McCarthy, Turner, mocks. In this episode of The Real Forno Show, hosts Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano dissect the Minnesota Vikings’ 9-8 season wrap-up, focusing on quarterback J.J. McCarthy’s challenges, edge rusher Dallas Turner’s rapid growth, and an early dive into the 2026 NFL Draft with a simulated mock. […]
Well, it looks like this offseason will be another fantastic debate about the QB position. It has already started with folks settling into their respective camps and very very few willing to change their position (er., mind). I’m not sure what the team is actually going to do but if the people in charge want […]
The Minnesota Vikings season has come to an end. It’s a season that ended on a five-game win streak that feels a little superficial. The results weren’t what the team wanted. Coming off a 14-3 season, a 5 win drop is always going to be disappointing. J.J. McCarthy missed more games and the QB position […]
It may be the most obvious and defining statement about the Minnesota Vikings’ 2025 season, but it’s worth saying loud and clear: letting Sam Darnold go was a massive blunder by Kevin O’Connell and the Vikings’ Front Office. Yes, it’s a whole lot easier to make that assessment with the benefit of hindsight, but looking […]
When Drake Maye first invited his teammates to North Carolina for an offseason workout, he wasn’t sure if four-time Pro Bowler Stefon Diggs would show up. But Diggs, who was also working back from an ACL tear, arrived for a weekend of work, beginning the process of building chemistry with his new quarterback — and […]
With the season officially over for the Minnesota Vikings, it’s time. . .unfortunately. . .to start looking ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft. We know where the purple are going to be selecting, and we’ve got all of the selections for the non-playoff teams here for you to check out as well. The Vikings, after […]
The 2025 season is officially in the books for the Minnesota Vikings, and now we know who they will face off against in 2026. Since it’s never too early to start looking forward to next season, let’s go ahead and break everything down for you here now, shall we? Minnesota Vikings 2026 opponents As always, […]
The Green Bay Packers were slotted into the seven seed in the NFC before Week 18 begins. None of the outcomes will change that. More importantly for Packers fans, though, will be who Green Bay plays as the two seed. That was wide open with a few different teams able to set up shop there. […]
In his post-game press conference, Green Bay Packers head coach said that he believes that safety Javon Bullard will be “okay” following a knee injury that knocked him out against the Minnesota Vikings. Bullard was forced into the lineup throughout the game due to the limited bodies that the Packers were able to sit on […]
THE GAME IS OVER; YOU CAN ALL WAKE UP NOW. The regular season is officially over for the 9-7-1 Green Bay Packers after a 16-3 loss to the Minnesota Vikings. It was a snooze-fest of a game, as the majority of starters sat in preparation for the playoffs next week. Folks, this is going to […]
If you were hoping to see the Green Bay Packers’ backups play well on Sunday’s regular-season finale, hopefully you did not watch the team’s game against the Minnesota Vikings this afternoon. Clayton Tune and the Green Bay offense put up just 121 yards of total offense against the Vikings, the fewest in a single game […]
If you put together a football game between two teams that didn’t have a whole lot to play for in their final regular season contest, it would probably look a lot like what the Minnesota Vikings and Green Bay Packers did at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon. J.J. McCarthy left after one second half […]
They’re heading into the locker rooms at U.S. Bank Stadium for halftime of the regular season finale, and your Minnesota Vikings lead the Green Bay Packers, 13-0. Both teams exchanged punts early on in the quarter, with Ryan Wright putting the Green Bay offense at their own 30-yard line. Not a banner offensive effort from […]
The final Sunday of the NFL’s 2025 regular season has arrived, bringing the Green Bay Packers an ultimately meaningless game against the Minnesota Vikings. The Packers are locked into the 7th seed in the NFC playoffs while the Vikings are out of the postseason, meaning this game is just for pride — and for the […]
We’re now a little less than ninety minutes away from kicking things off for the 2025 regular season finale between the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium. Both teams have released their inactive lists for today’s game, so let’s take a look at who will be sitting this one out. […]
Well, well, well. Here we are again, J.J. McCarthy. The Minnesota Vikings are expected to start McCarthy at quarterback for today’s game against the Green Bay Packers after he missed his team’s last game, a win over the Detroit Lions on Christmas Day. That result was important for the Packers, who clinched a playoff spot […]
It’s the final game day of the 2025 NFL season for our Minnesota Vikings, as they’ll be hosting the Green Bay Packers this afternoon in the regular season finale. We want everyone to be able to follow along with all of the action from U.S. Bank Stadium by whichever means they’d like, so we’re going […]
According to Bill Huber of Sports Illustrated, starting quarterback Jordan Love will be active on Sunday against the Minnesota Vikings. The team will try to keep Love off the field, but an injury to Clayton Tune would put Love, coming off a concussion, on the field against Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy unit. Indeed, a source said, […]
Vikings-Packers finale preview: Flores’ future looms, Jefferson chases 1,000 yards – will Minnesota end 2025 strong? In this gripping episode of Two Old Bloggers, hosts Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano, joined by Drew Bunting, unpack the Minnesota Vikings’ Week 18 clash against a resting Green Bay Packers squad. As the Vikings aim for a fifth […]
JJ is playing which is fine. We hope that he is able to get through the game without any injury. Sadly, that is going to be the main worry going forward. At least for me. All the rest should come in time. What will you be looking for in this game? I am going to […]
