SB Nation Reacts Results: Of Quarterbacks and Coordinators
We’ve got the results of our SB Nation Reacts poll for this week and the questions we asked our readers about the Minnesota Vikings, so let’s take a look at what everyone is thinking, shall we? Our first question of the week was, as it always is, whether or not everyone thinks the Vikings are […]

Saturday NFL Playoffs Discussion
It’s time for the NFL playoffs to get underway, ladies and gentlemen! And even though our Minnesota Vikings. . .unfortunately. . .aren’t involved, we can still sit back and enjoy all of today’s action, and here’s a spot where you can do it with other Vikings fans. The first game of today’s doubleheader kicks off […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Shall We Continue To Beat That Dead Horse?
Not much news besides the odds of Brian Flores leaving for another team seemingly increasing with every report you read. I do not think the team can replace him but they can find someone else to call a good defensive game. The worry if he leaves is do some of the personnel no longer fit […]
Will Reichard, Andrew DePaola Garner All-Pro Honors
The National Football League has announced the All-Pro teams for the 2025 season, and two-thirds of the Minnesota Vikings’ specialists have been recognized for their play this season. Kicker Will Reichard was named a First-Team All-Pro for his performance this past season, while long snapper Andrew DePaola was named to the Second Team. For Reichard, […]
And The Award Goes To…
The 2025 Minnesota Vikings’ season is officially over. Nine wins, eight losses, and a whole bunch of “what-ifs.” There was some good and some bad, but overall, given last year’s performance and expectations, without a playoff berth, it’s impossible to call this campaign “successful.” Let’s say it was… passably enjoyable? As we’re gearing up for […]

Forness emphasizes the uncertainty around defensive coordinator Brian Flores, noting, “His contract expires on January 14th,” and speculates on teams waiting […]
Two Teams Request Interview with Top Vikings Defensive Assistant
While much of the focus for Minnesota Vikings fans at the start of this year’s NFL coaching carousel has been on the fate of defensive coordinator Brian Flores, a couple of teams have now requested interviews with the man thought by many to be the top in-house choice to be his successor should he not […]
Will Reichard Named NFC Special Teams Player of the Month
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 […]
Ravens to Interview Brian Flores for Head Coaching Job
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 […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Will The Vikings Lose Coach Flores?
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 […]

McCarthy’s challenges, edge rusher Dallas Turner’s rapid growth, and an early dive into the 2026 NFL Draft with a simulated mock. […]
Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Another Offseason QB Debate
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 […]
Vikes Views: Nincompoop of the Year
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 […]
Letting Sam Darnold Go Was a Big Mistake by the Vikings
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 […]
Vikings updated 2026 NFL Draft order: Current 1st-round pick after Week 18
With the season officially over for the Minnesota Vikings, it’s time. . .unfortunately. . .to start looking ahead to the 2026 NFL Draft.

Vikings End Season On High Note With Victory Over Packers
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 […]
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings: Third Quarter Recap and Fourth Quarter Discussion
We are heading to the final fifteen minutes of this 2025 season for your Minnesota Vikings, and they still lead the Green Bay Packers by a score of 13-0. The Packers got the football first coming out of the locker room at halftime, as they won the coin toss and deferred their choice to the […]
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings: Second Quarter Recap and Third Quarter Discussion
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 […]
Justin Jefferson Gets His Sixth Straight 1,000-Yard Season
It took longer than anyone would have expected, but Justin Jefferson reached a mark that put him beside a couple of greats in NFL history. With a 17-yard reception in the second quarter against the Green Bay Packers, Jefferson went over the 1,000-yard mark for the 2025 season, making it the sixth consecutive season that […]
Green Bay Packers at Minnesota Vikings: First Quarter Recap and Second Quarter Discussion
