2025 NFL Week 14: Washington Commanders at Minnesota Vikings

Two of the NFL’s most disappointing teams in this 2025 season are set to meet this Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium as the Minnesota Vikings will play host to the Washington Commanders in Week 14 NFL action. These two teams combined for 26 regular season victories in 2024, and the Commanders advanced to the NFC […]

Reflections on Rock Bottom

As a Vikings fan, declaring any situation “rock bottom” is always a perilous proposition. This is, after all, a franchise that once “missed” a draft pick, becoming a subject of national ridicule, and had its stadium roof collapse, serving as a perfect symbol of a terrible season. Coincidentally, that same year saw a head coach […]

Commanders at Vikings: First Injury Report

The Washington Commanders and Minnesota Vikings issued their first injury reports ahead of their Sunday matchup at US Bank stadium. Here they are: Minnesota Vikings For the Vikings, Donovan Jackson remains a non-participant, which makes his availability on Sunday questionable at this point. Levi Drake-Rodriguez missing Wednesday’s practice with a neck injury also casts some […]

Vikes Views: Will Adam Thielen Sign with a Contender?

Last week Adam Thielen requested his release from the Vikings. Monday, the team granted that request. Thielen believes he has a market to sign with a team contending for the playoffs. It’s his final season and this clearly wasn’t working out in Minnesota. His final tally for the year with the Vikings is 18 targets, […]

Vikes Views: Nincompoop of the Week – Vikings at Seahawks

The Minnesota Vikings went into Seattle to face the Seahawks, and it couldn’t have gone much worse. I won’t say it can’t get worse—because we all know it always can—but that was ugly. It was the first time the Vikings had been shut out since November 11, 2007. Max Brosmer got his chance to start, […]

Vikings Waive WR Adam Thielen

Ahead of Sunday’s 26-0 loss to the Seattle Seahawks, the Minnesota Vikings made wide receiver Adam Thielen a healthy scratch. On Monday, they made a move that, just a few months ago, would have been unthinkable. The Vikings have just announced that they have waived Adam Thielen, putting a period at the end of what […]

Everything Ends Badly, Otherwise It Wouldn’t End

It wasn’t supposed to be like this. Sure, the Minnesota Vikings weren’t going to go 14-3 again after the run they had in 2024, but surely they were going to be a solid contender again in 2025, weren’t they? That’s what yours truly, and a lot of other people, thought going into this season. The […]

With the news that quarterback J.J. McCarthy would not be starting this week for the Minnesota Vikings due to not clearing concussion protocol and that rookie Max Brosmer would be starting in his spot, many fans felt that things could not possibly get worse for the Minnesota offense. The team, apparently, took that as a […]
