Vikings Return from Bye to Face an Imploding Colts Team

The 5-0 Minnesota Vikings are undefeated but far from perfect, and Two Old Bloggers Darren Campbell and Dave Stefano demand improvement before the schedule gets brutal. With Kyler Murray at quarterback, a Brian Flores defense allowing just 12.8 points per game, and the November 10 trade deadline looming, this episode breaks down why “Get Better […]

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: There Are No Easy Games!

I think it is a big game this week. They all are really. The Colts are going to be fired up to try and get a win and not have three straight losses. The defense is going to have to stop the run because I imagine the Colts will lean heavily on Taylor and try […]

SB Nation Reacts Results: Many Happy Returns for the Vikings

Rewriting the Narrative: The Vikings’ New Story

Narrative is a funny thing in the NFL. Sometimes I question where all of the different storylines come from or why the media focuses on certain aspects over others. Not to be a conspiracy theorist (even though it’s sometimes a hobby for me), but I am sure the NFL marketing department sends information out to […]

Week 7 Preview (And a J.J. McCarthy Take)

I’ll start with the juiciest part: J.J. McCarthy came in for the New York Giants and nearly pulled off an incredible comeback, with the Giants down 34-10 in the 4th quarter. He threw for 243 passing yards, rushed for 26 more, and threw one passing touchdown, but he also threw an interception in…drumroll…11 minutes. As […]

How Sustainable is the Vikings’ Success This Season?

The Minnesota Vikings are the biggest surprise among undefeated teams this season among pundits nationally. A little over a month ago before the season began, the Vikings had an over/under win total of 8.5 and were clear favorites to finish last in the NFC North division. Now the Vikings are the clear favorites to win […]

Could the Vikings Get Flexed to Sunday Night Football In Week 8? Maybe, But. . .

With recent changes to the NFL’s scheduling rules, the ability for the league to flex games around the schedule comes much earlier than it has in previous seasons. With a prime time game coming up that no longer looks particularly appealing, the Minnesota Vikings could, potentially, find themselves getting a game against one of their […]

Vikings Trade Deadline Targets: Buckner, Taylor, Bynum & More

The Minnesota Vikings are 5-0 and reportedly ready to be aggressive at the trade deadline. Who should they target?

It’s time to take a look at our SB Nation Reacts results for this week, ladies and gentlemen. Let’s take a look at how everyone responded to our questions this week, shall we? Yes, we shall. As always, our first question for this week was whether or not you feel that our favorite football team […]

Bye Week Breather

The Minnesota Vikings improved to 5-0 with a convincing (if frustrating) victory over the New Orleans Saints. A 23-13 final was fine, but the game should have been at least 29-7, more like 33-7. But a win is a win; in the end, that’s all that matters. In the first part of the 2026 season, […]

Vikes Views: Who Ya Got? Bye Week Edition

The Vikings are 5-0 and on a bye week. Normally, that would be a great opportunity to relax and enjoy a stress-free Sunday. Instead, I’ll be spending part of my weekend watching the Bears and Falcons in person while keeping an eye on the Packers and Cowboys Sunday night. If we can’t watch our favorite […]
