2025 NFL Week 17: Detroit Lions at Minnesota Vikings

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 […]

X-Rays Negative on J.J. McCarthy’s Hand

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 […]

Vikings Defense Ties Franchise Record

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 […]

Vikings Lose Key Pieces In Ugly Win Over Giants

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 […]

J.J. McCarthy Ruled Out With Hand Injury

The injury bug has, once again, bitten J.J. McCarthy, and it couldn’t have come at a worse possible time. Late in the second quarter of the Minnesota Vikings’ game against the New York Giants, McCarthy was hit hard by Brian Burns, causing a fumble that was recovered by Tyler Nubin for a New York touchdown. […]

Minnesota Vikings News and Links: The Grinch That Stole The Season

What caused this season to be toast already? I believe the injury Grinch is responsible. I’d like to believe that if JJ had started every game then the team would have 2 to 3 more wins by now. His mobility would have made a big difference in the games. I really hate watching playoffs with […]

Another day, another one of the Minnesota Vikings’ bigger names being placed on injured reserve. . .and this one ends one of the stranger and more disappointing sagas of the 2025 season for our favorite team.
