What a game....what I liked/didn't like
What I liked:
[list]
[*]Darnold is playing so, so well. Most TDs thrown after 4 weeks? My god. To the Jets and Panthers, this Darnold is unrecognizable. But this is what people envisioned could be on Draft day. Kudos to Sam and KOC. And how about that athleticism? Throws on the run, evades pressures and scrambles for first downs. That's part of why he was the #3 overall pick.
[*]How awesome was that punch out forced fumble by Murphy? Seriously. Fuck yes.
[*]Justin Jefferson is the best WRer in the NFL. Period. Double period.
[*]Welcome back, Addison. I see you.
[*]This offensive line is pumping on all cylinders. It might not be the most talented individually, but its gelled and playing well as a unit mostly.
[*]Aaron Jones has been as advertised, excellent pickup.
[/list]
What I didn't like:
[list]
[*]The 4th and goal call by KOC that should have ended the game. The field is slippery. I'm fine with going for it, don't take the run play wide on a Jet Sweep. Nailor slid. Sigh. Also, it was a bad placement by the refs as his knee didn't hit before he got the first.
[*]The D looked gassed and winded in the 2nd half.
[*]The Nailor muffed punt. The absolute worst. Ugh.
[*]Bad INT by Darnold when they should have scored. But QBs are going to throw picks....he hasn't done it often. Just not the place for a bad throw.
[/list]
The first half was like this surreal dream....was it really happening? Then the same 'ol feeling came around in the 2nd half. But its a W and that's what's important.
I had a gig so didn’t catch the 2nd half. Wasn’t it pretty much garbage time but got close because KOC tried to stay balanced/ aggressive in the pass game?
Somewhat, but Minnesota stopped them when they got the ball first in the 3rd....then Minnesota turned it over twice. I figured after Reichard hit the FG, the 9 point lead was going to probably do it, sans a successful onside kick. Minnesota also did a nice job of forcing GB to burn their 3 timeouts in the second half.

The swagger & energy this #Vikings team is playing with is different than anything I’ve been around. Accountability + trust continues to show up week in & week out which is resulting in these wins.
Long season ahead but in the words of Kamu Grugier-Hill: “Vibes are high”
