Analyst Danny Parkins urges Vikings GM Nolan Teasley to trade for Colts star RB Jonathan Taylor to boost quarterback Kyler Murray’s offense. Murray, in five games under coach Kevin O’Connell, has a 66.4% completion rate, three TDs and two picks, while the Vikings lack a power runner after Aaron Jones’s 436 yards. Taylor, with 587 yards and eight TDs in eight games, proved his talent by rushing for 95 yards and a TD against Minnesota. Reports say Minnesota monitors Taylor ahead of the trade deadline, though his price will be high.

I full attire with this jersey looks pretty good. I’m just not sure why the logo needed to be white.
I’m seeing the Canadiens waving their stick at the puck trying to knock it away while maintaining body positioning. It’s been several players on several lines, so maybe something they worked in with a couple of days off.
