Against the Jacksonville Jaguars, three Vikings players were levied with fines due to “unnecessary roughness.” RB Cam Akers: $6,544 ILB Blake Cashman: $11,255 OT Cam Robinson: $11,255 The fines for…
It might be a little risky playing any of the players from the matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Tennessee Titans. After all, both teams have defenses that are among the best in the league. It also doesn’t help that Sam Darnold is coming off a triple-interception game, but rest assured that some of…
The Minnesota Vikings have elevated just one player for the second-consecutive week in lost snapper Jake McQuaide. This is the second elevation for McQuaide this season. He’s in for All-Pro center Andrew DePaola who was placed on injured reserve after injuring his hand against the Indianapolis Colts. The Vikings will have to figure something out…
The Vikings have been flexed into a primetime slot once already this season, and it’s possible that another could be on the horizon in Week 13 when they take on the Arizona Cardinals. The Vikings (7-2) and Cardinals (6-4) are scheduled to meet at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis at noon on Sunday, Dec. 1,…
Dadá Maravilha, a famous Brazilian soccer player, once said that an “ugly goal doesn’t exist; ugly is not scoring.” Although I doubt anyone reading this has ever heard this, it is true. It doesn’t matter how you score, what matters is getting points. That’s exactly what the Minnesota Vikings did in their matchup against the…
The journey this season has been exceptional. Most felt it was going to be a down year.

After this week against the Titans, the Vikings face the reeling Bears, “resurgent” Cardinals, pretty good…
At noon Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will play football in Nashville vs the Tennessee Titans.

But for the Vikings,…
Coming out of the two-minute warning, the Jacksonville Jaguars were in position to pull off a stunning upset against the Minnesota Vikings. Down 12-7, the Jags caught a break on a facemask penalty and had the ball on the Minnesota 43-yard line. Backup QB Mac Jones dropped back, looked downfield and thought he had a…
The Houston Texans are one day away from facing off against the Dallas Cowboys in Week 11’s edition of Monday Night Football, meaning the team and its fans can watch most of the league do battle on Sunday.

For the first time since Week 5, the Houston Texans will have Nico Collins on the field.

Collins, who suffered a hamstring injury in Week 5,…
The battle for the state of Texas will take place on Monday Night Football in Week 11. The Dallas Cowboys will host the Houston Texans, with both teams looking to end a losing streak. Houston dropped two in a row, both in prime time. In Week 9, it was a Halloween loss to the New…
The Texans will play without edge rusher Will Anderson again this week. Anderson has been ruled out of Monday night’s game against the Cowboys with the ankle injury he suffered against the Jets in Week Nine. Anderson did not practice at all this week.
