• T T.J. Clemmings vs. Edge Everson Griffen – With All-Pro left tackle Trent Williams set to miss another game as he recovers from a knee injury, the stage is set for T.J. Clemmings to make his third consecutive start. Clemmings has been far from perfect in pass-protection so far and has allowed two sacks, two hits and four hurries on the 79 pass-blocking snaps he’s played in the last two weeks, resulting in a pass-blocking efficiency of 91.8 that ranks 32nd of 37 offensive tackles with at least 50 snaps during that span. Entering the contest, Clemmings will have considerable experience squaring up against Everson Griffen, so hopefully he can use that to his advantage. Any prior experience against Griffen can be helpful, as the eighth-year pass-rusher is playing at an extremely high level this year. Through nine weeks, Griffen has produced 35 pressures from 273 pass-rush snaps, and his nine sacks from the right side of the line lead the league’s 4-3 defensive ends.

I bet they make Beavers active for this game also as Sirles isn't practicing also. 

Everson Griffen appears to be on track to play Sunday, giving him the chance to extend his streak of games with a sack to an NFL-record nine straight.

Griffen, the Minnesota Vikings’ leader in sacks with 10 through eight games, returned to practice on Friday on at least a limited basis after sitting out the previous two days with a foot injury suffered late in the Week 8 win over the Cleveland Browns. He has had at least one sack in each of the first eight games this season, joining two other players in NFL history. If he gets one Sunday against the Washington Redskins, it would be an NFL record.

“We try to rush as a team, but we try to exploit matchups if we can, as well,” head coach Mike Zimmer said on Thursday. “But he’s been chipped a bunch and he just keeps battling.”

Zimmer said he expects Griffen to play, but that likely won’t be the case for right tackle Mike Remmers, who hasn’t practiced all week because of a concussion. Rashod Hill likely will start for Remmers. Backup offensive lineman Jeremiah Sirles missed another week of practice with a knee injury and isn’t expected to play, either.

The full injury report, with designations of out, doubtful and questionable, will be released Friday afternoon.

Kudos to him for holding these guys accountable...

I travel a lot & was stoked to see the Viking game covering the map (especially since the Packer/Bear game would normally dominate) but then I saw that little spot in San Diego, where I will be ! Just my luck...
Just wondering why the Saints Bills game would play there, Colorado & Wyoming ?
Was thinking maybe AFC ties to those markets, but the Chargers have bolted 

Minnesota Vikings2020 QB: Teddy Bridgewater

Primary QB from 2014-16: Teddy Bridgewater
Total team QBR 2014: 47.5 | 2015: 56.2 | 2016: 53.1
Bridgewater returns from a brutal knee injury and subs for an injured Case Keenum in 2017. When he plays well enough to get the Vikings to the NFC title game -- which they lose to the Eagles -- they sign him to be their QB of the future.
