This was the third play of the game, a deep shot to Addison. Should DPI have been called? (I am not implying that it would've changed the result)

The Vikings' O-line gave Kyler Murray almost seven seconds to throw on this 32-yarder to Jeshaun Jones. Look at LG Joe Huber helping out his left tackle.

The comeback fell just short, but what a final 11 minutes for J.J. McCarthy today. 243 passing yards on 11 completions 1 TD, 1 INT 26 rush yards Have to assume he starts next week for NYG.

This is the Kyler Murray we've been waiting to see. Also, what a game for T.J. Hockenson. 11 for 106.

How Jefferson contorts his body, makes this catch, and gets both feet down is hard to wrap your head around.

3rd and 9 in the first quarter. First read is Jefferson, who is open by NFL standards. McCarthy then progresses to the backside and has Addison wide open, but chooses to get Hockenson lit up on the checkdown instead.

Josh Metellus was called for unnecessary roughness on this play. Watch until the end and you'll see him get hit directly by the flag.

Vikings have caught some massive breaks today by a matter of inches. 1) Chis Bell's foot barely out of bounds on long TD 2) Ivan Pace Jr. grazes punt, negating roughing flag 3) Blake Cashman's fingertip saves long Gordon TD ⬇️

Jake Golday (41) blitzing off the edge and then recovering to chase down the scrambling QB. He's been impressive in both preseason games.

Kevin O'Connell mentioned today that a couple of J.J. McCarthy's tipped balls would've led to an explosive play and a touchdown to Jordan Addison. Here are those two plays:

Super bummed for Cam Akers suffering another Achilles injury. In his honor, let's all watch him pancake a defensive lineman who's 70 pounds heavier than him and then let him know about it afterwards.

Another sack on third down. Is there a layered/anticipatory throw to be made to Addison on the dig?

Here's the play KOC drew up on the sideline that got Justin Jefferson wide open behind the defense. You'd like to think McCarthy rips it for a 66-yard touchdown if the pocket holds up. He ended up doing well to gain 16 on a scramble.

Just feel awful for Carson Wentz on a human level. It feels legitimately irresponsible that he was allowed to play almost the entire game.

Dallas Turner's first game of 2026 was incredible. 9 pressures. 7 QB hits. Sack + FF. Unreal speed off the edge from the 23-year-old.

T.J. Hockenson was not happy with his diving touchdown in the fourth quarter getting overturned by the replay center in New York. "Hands are underneath the ball," he said. "It's ridiculous."

Missed this earlier, but C.J. Ham essentially confirms here that he's retiring after 10 seasons with the Vikings, saying it's time for him to be with his family. What a run for the former UDFA from Augustana. Phenomenal football player and human being.

Justin Jefferson on supporting J.J. McCarthy: "With all of the criticism and all of the hateful messages he's probably been getting, he can cut on the TV on SportsCenter, they can talk negatively about him. Just trying to be that person for him that he can always lean on and talk to."

Aaron Jones is genuinely very excited to play his first home game at U.S. Bank Stadium and hear the SKOL chant. “It’s contagious. When you’re on the other sideline, you’re trying not to clap, you’re trying not to get into it.”
