Minnesota Vikings News: Who Are You Picking vs Da Bears?

The Vikings are now facing the Bears without K1, Jennings, and Mason. Wentz gets the nod with JJ stepping into the backup role. He had better be ready because every time Wentz goes down, well, it seems like it takes a long time for him to get up. He is not even over 50 yet […]

The Vikings’ Path Forward: A Rune Reading

After the Vikings absolutely destroyed Green Bay in the last 20 minutes of last Sunday’s game, I found myself with more questions than answers.

Week 2 Preview: The Search for Seven in a Row

The Minnesota Vikings aim to win back-to-back division games this Sunday as they travel to Soldier Field to face the defending NFC North champion Chicago Bears.
