Looks like the Titans will be missing....

....both their starting RT and starting CB.

This week (and Jax) are the times to stay healthy and try to stack some wins...

I'm starting to keep an eye on seeding. Why not right? Have some fun in a year I was expecting 6/7 wins.

I would much rather host Philly at USB then travel there in post season. Which means you win road games like Tn and Jax (and Chi too).

Safety shells likely coming for Jefferson again:

The Titans play quarters coverage 24.8% of the time (less than only the Vikings and the Chargers, according to data from Field Vision Sports), and it’s possible they’ll copy the approach used by the Jaguars and other teams against Justin Jefferson, keeping a shell over the top of the Vikings’ offense to keep Jefferson from beating them downfield.

The receiver said Thursday he‘s no longer surprised by the approach, adding, “We can’t get greedy and try to force passes into those shell coverages.” Four of Darnold’s five interceptions in the past two weeks have been on throws targeted for Jefferson, and the Titans will likely make it their chief aim to keep Jefferson from beating them on Sunday. L’Jarius Sneed, the grabby Titans cornerback who faced Jefferson with Kansas City last year, is out with a quadriceps injury.

This could/should be a statement game for the Vikings. On offense, the Titans rank dead last in passing yards and are facing a Flores defense that confuses young QBs like Levis. They can run the ball a bit, but the Vikings don't really allow teams to run much. They're defense is missing its best corner and the Vikings are probably one of the healthiest teams in the NFL right now. So...it SHOULD be a laugher...

Our IOL has played pretty well the last two games, but they could struggle a bit with Jeffrey Simmons.

I have no doubt Chicago will be pesky next Sunday. We need this one to keep pace with Eagles.

Agreed, we need to stack wins. Never a gimme with our Vikings. Fingers crossed.

I'm feeling more confident today than last week for some reAson...

I think Sam bounces back for a few weeks too.

They've had a few weeks to try and decode attacking these shell defenses now.
