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)

In addition to the missed throws, Justin Jefferson was wide open on Kyler Murray's first two sacks of the day. Will Fries was beaten on the first one, Murray passed up Jefferson on the second.

Kyler Murray on the Vikings' final two possessions: 13 for 14, 120 yards, no sacks.

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.

Jalen Redmond's 91.0 PFF run defense grade leads all NFL defensive tackles. Plays like these are why:

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.

Chuck Demmings!

They called this a hold on Byron Murphy Jr?

Did Dallas Turner get held or is this just good right tackle play from Lane Johnson? 🤔

Olivia Miles is special. She's gonna play in this league for a long, long time

Not too hard to see why Justin Jefferson is frustrated. These are bad misses from Kyler Murray.

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

Here are all nine Jordan Mason carries against Detroit. Gaints of 10, 1, -2, 2, 29 (called back), 11, -5, 2, 1 What stands out?

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.

Odell Beckham Jr. cracking jokes on his first day: "The reason I picked 9 is Justin got half his game from me."

Kevin O’Connell’s opening statement after Vikings-Colts. “I think our guys are confident that we’re not far off (on offense).”

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."

Here's Kyler Murray converting nine third downs against the Saints with his arm and his legs. Good football player.

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."

Here's every J.J. McCarthy non-handoff from the Vikings' preseason opener against NYG (including two plays that didn't count because of penalties). Stats: 4 for 7, 34 yards, 1 rushing yard, 1 sack Thoughts?

Every snap from Caleb Banks' preseason debut. - 25 snaps - 3 tackles - 30.4 PFF grade

J.J. McCarthy's jab at Ohio State today

Ryan Wright punted this from his own 10! Could be one of the plays of the game if the Vikings capitalize and end up winning

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.”

Big Citrus is going to be good

The Carson Wentz experience is wild because he had like two minutes of lowlights against the Eagles and he also did stuff like this:

Demond Claiborne's 12 carries for 34 yards in his Vikings preseason debut. How'd he look?
