You won't believe how fast Adam Thielen ran on that 65-yard TD!

There was a time when Adam Thielen would tell the media, tell his teammates and tell his coaches that he would race any player in the Vikings locker room and win. 
For the most part we laughed. 
We laughed cuz he was undrafted. We laughed cuz he played D2. We laughed for a bunch of reasons...and then today happened. 
According to Next Gen Stats, when Adam Thielen caught that 65-yard touchdown and pulled away from Rams defenders, he ran 20.58 miles per hour!

  NFL will keep playing games in Mexico through 2021
Posted by: purplefaithful - 11-20-2017, 03:59 AM - Forum: The Longship - No Replies

The NFL’s commitment to international games isn’t slowing down.
Just before the Oakland Raiders and New England Patriots were to kick off in Mexico City on Sunday afternoon, the NFL and Mexico Ministry of Tourism announced the NFL will play a game in Mexico each season through 2021. That adds three years to the agreement, which was slated to run through 2018.

  Case Keenum debate should be put to rest
Posted by: purplefaithful - 11-20-2017, 03:03 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (17)

Teddy Bridgewater's return will happen, and it will be emotional and inspiring. Until then, let's all relax and enjoy this unexpected infusion that Case Keenum has provided the Vikings.The Great Quarterback Debate can be put to rest. At least for this week, please?
The Case vs. Teddy hysteria that has divided Vikings-land should be a non-talker after Sunday’s 24-7 dismantling of the Los Angeles Rams at U.S. Bank Stadium.
Debating who should start at quarterback right now is a waste of time and just seems silly. Case Keenum not only is playing winning football, he’s scripting one of the best stories in the NFL after improving to 6-2 as a starter (7-2 if counting his win over the Chicago Bears in relief).
Teddy Bridgewater’s return to competition will happen someday, and it will be emotional and inspiring. Until then, let’s all relax and enjoy this unexpected infusion that Keenum has provided the offense with his go-for-broke attitude.
“It’s going to be hard to yank him out of there right now,” coach Mike Zimmer acknowledged.

  Case Keenum has “a horseshoe right now” but how long will he have starting job?
Posted by: purplefaithful - 11-20-2017, 02:23 AM - Forum: The Longship - Replies (133)

MINNEAPOLIS – The Vikings faced second-and-5 from the Los Angeles 30-yard line late in the first quarter Sunday when Case Keenum dropped back and came under heavy pressure.The quarterback managed to evade linebacker Robert Quinn and ducked as linebacker Connor Barwin somehow slipped off him. And then, as he was about to take a hit from defensive tackle Michael Brockers, Keenum lofted the ball into the air.

It came down in Adam Thielen’s hands, a split second before cornerback Trumaine Johnson arrived, for a 12-yard gain to the Rams 18. Five plays later, Latavius Murray scored on an 8-yard run to tie the score at 7 in what became a 24-7 victory for the Vikings.
So Vikings coach Mike Zimmer had to be thrilled with his quarterback’s Houdini-like act to avoid the sack, right?
“Yeah, um, it was a good ending,” Zimmer said afterward showing little enthusiasm for the play.
Zimmer, who has called Keenum excitable in recent weeks, later elaborated on seeing his QB launch a pass that just as easily could have been intercepted. “I’m thinking a lot of things at that point,” he said. “But, he’s got a horseshoe right now.”

  Anthony Harris’ play the stuff of champions

Bob Sansevere: Anthony Harris’ play the stuff of champions

[Image: rams-vaaaikings-football.jpg?w=418]

In that instant when it looks like the other team is about to score a touchdown, what goes through the mind of a defensive player?
Well, if you’re Vikings safety Anthony Harris, and wide receiver Cooper Kupp is within a yard of the end zone with the football tucked in the crook of his right arm, it’s this:
“Never give up. Keep playing,” Harris said.
Harris stripped the ball from Kupp’s crook and recovered it himself, hijacking a touchdown and eliminating the prospect of a 14-7 Rams lead.
“That was big-time,” fellow safety Harrison Smith said.
That’s what players on teams hellbent to be serious Super Bowl contenders do.
