Latest news and updates about the Vikings
Right around 48 hours out from their Christmas Day game against the Detroit Lions, we have the answer to who will be starting at quarterback for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 17. . .and it will not be J.J. McCarthy. Head coach Kevin O’Connell announced just moments ago that McCarthy has a hairline fracture in […]
A Vikings win is always great! However, the injury to JJ McCarthy really stinks. The team really needs to be able to evaluate his play on the field which has seen ups and downs. The ups have been really nice while the downs can mostly be chalked up to him having very little snaps. The […]
The Minnesota Vikings won their 3rd game in a row, defeating the NY Giants, 16-13. It wasn’t the most exciting game for fans to watch, with only 3.6 yards per play. The Vikings did see some of the veteran stars come alive with Justin Jefferson and Aaron Jones having a nice game. The defense was […]
It’s often said that nobody cares about the Pro Bowl, outside of players who have incentives for such things written into their contracts. Based on the announcement that was made just an hour or so ago, fans of the Minnesota Vikings now have even less reason. . .if that’s possible. . .to care about this […]
Is J.J. McCarthy’s season (and future) over after another injury? In this explosive Vikings vs Giants post-game analysis, Tyler Forness and Dave Stefano dive deep into McCarthy’s hand injury, the ongoing drop issues, Max Brosmer’s relief performance, and what it means for Minnesota’s final two games. The Real Forno Show delivers the ultimate Minnesota Vikings […]

Crazy how much a year can change things, huh? Last season, the Detroit Lions and the Minnesota Vikings were the top two teams in the NFC, fighting not just for the division but for the top seed in the conference. This year? Both are at the bottom of the division; one team is eliminated from […]
The Detroit Lions aren’t mathematically eliminated from the NFL playoff race, but they are beyond a long shot at this point. They need the Green Bay Packers to lose both of their remaining games (vs. Ravens, at Vikings) and the Lions need to win their remaining two games (at Vikings, at Bears). Prediction models have […]
Last season, the regular-season finale between the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions had just about as much riding on it as a regular season game could potentially have. This season is just about as far removed from that as we could possibly be. The Vikings and Lions will meet as the second game of […]
It’s time for the first injury reports of the week, folks! Yes, because the Minnesota Vikings and the Detroit Lions are facing off on Thursday, the first injury reports of the week are up as of today, and we’ve got them here for you. It’s worth noting that these are probably best described as pseudo-injury […]
The Minnesota Vikings have won three consecutive games, including two in a row on the road, but the odds are currently against them making it four in a row when they take the field on Christmas Day. The folks at the FanDuel Sportsbook have opened the betting lines for this week’s games, and the Vikings […]
The Detroit Lions (8-7) and Minnesota Vikings (7-8) have announced their initial injury reports as they prepare to face off in Week 17. With this game being played on a Thursday (Christmas Day), the Lions’ practice schedule is altered this week. Their initial report comes out on Monday, while the injury declarations will be announced […]
The Detroit Lions (8-7) and Minnesota Vikings (7-8) will square off in a Week 17 divisional rivalry game on Christmas Day. Detroit is coming off two consecutive losses for the first time since 2022, and the Vikings have won their last three games, but the Lions still have a slim shot at making the playoffs, […]
There are still some things to sort out over the final two weeks of the season, but two things are for sure when it comes to the NFC North: The Minnesota Vikings will be watching the playoffs from home, and they’ll be watching at least one of their rivals in the postseason — the Chicago Bears. Chicago’s victory over Green Bay, paired with Detroit’s loss to Pittsburgh, allowed the Bears to become the first team in the division to clinch a playoff berth. While the Packers and Lions are math...
With the Detroit Lions losing to the Pittsburgh Steelers on Sunday, the Green Bay Packers need to lose both games to finish the year, against the Baltimore Ravens and Minnesota Vikings, while the Lions win out for Green Bay to miss the postseason. As of now, the New York Times/The Athletic playoff simulator gives the […]
It appears that the Minnesota Vikings may have avoided the worst-case scenario with their young quarterback, but his status for their next game is still cloudy at best as things stand right now. During his post-game press conference following the Vikings’ 16-13 victory over the New York Giants, head coach Kevin O’Connell told reporters that […]
While the Minnesota Vikings’ defense hasn’t been recording quite the numbers as far as turnovers that we’ve become accustomed to in recent years, Sunday afternoon’s victory over the New York Giants saw them tie a mark that this franchise hasn’t seen since the days of the Purple People Eaters. By keeping the Giants’ offense out […]
A game between a 6-8 team and a 2-12 team in late December is generally expected to be a pretty ugly affair, and Sunday’s contest between the Minnesota Vikings and New York Giants at MetLife Stadium certainly met those expectations. Only one offensive touchdown was scored on Sunday afternoon, and the Vikings lost a couple […]
We are heading to the fourth quarter at MetLife Stadium, and your Minnesota Vikings are still leading the New York Football Giants in the final road game of the year for the purple by a score of 13-10. The Giants got the football first to start the half, as the Vikings won the coin toss […]
They’re heading into the locker rooms for halftime at MetLife Stadium, and the Minnesota Vikings lead the New York Giants by a score of 13-10. The Giants started the second quarter with the football, and they continued to move the ball down the field on the ground, as Jaxson Dart threw just one pass in […]
The final quarter of the 2025 NFL season will continue Sunday at 1:00 PM, with a few interesting matchups including the Chargers against the Cowboys, and the Vikings against the Giants. The Philadelphia Eagles already beat the Washington Commanders and clinched the NFC East, but there’s a decent amount of hate-watching available on Sunday. Click […]

We’re getting to them a little later than usual, but it’s time for our staff of learned pro football diehards to reveal our picks for Week 16 of the 2025 NFL season. I was hoping to get these out there before Saturday’s games, but a few things happened and I was unable to do so. […]
