“This is the football equivalent of welding together different types of metal. It takes a considerable amount of brainpower and skill to come up with something cohesive, and every choice brings its own issues. Rushing attempts from under center demand different aiming points and angles. Any wrong track can torpedo a play. The same goes for the intricacies of the passing game.”

Former #Vikings HC Mike Zimmer used to track the hours each player watched of film during his time in Minnesota. Harrison Smith was always on top of the list in terms of hours of film watched.

Vikings at Saints Week - 2002: Vikes lead the entire game until 5 min remained in the game. Daunte Culpepper has a monster game (along with Moss) & leads the comeback & 2pt conversion with 5 seconds to play to win. Beginning of an 8 game win streak to end 2002 & begin 2003. pic.twitter.com/3GrUmO88qR

Adam Amin, Drew Brees and Kristina Pink are on the call for Vikings-Saints on FOX. Very good crew.

— Alec Lewis (@alec_lewis) October 7, 2026

I get Bears/Packers. ☹️Though, had they not been moved to the noon slot, I probably would've gotten the Giants/Commanders game.

Minnesota @ New Orleans - Adam Amin, Drew Brees
Chicago @ Green Bay - Kenny Albert, Greg Olsen

NY Giants @ Washington -Chris Myers, Jonathan Vilma

Cincinnati @ Miami - Eric Collins, Mark Schlereth

#Vikings CB James Pierre has the lowest passer rating when targeted (2.1) this season, per @PFF.

The Vikings are signing WR Odell Beckham Jr. to their practice squad, per sources. Pretty cool deal here. Veteran depth. Had a prior relationship with Kevin O'Connell from their time with the Rams. He has also gotten very close with Justin Jefferson.

Always respect between Justin Jefferson and Odell Beckham Jr — now teammates in Minnesota.

OBJ was Jefferson’s favorite WR to watch growing up 👇 https://t.co/YVqxPLPPGs pic.twitter.com/2hnnR2746p

The Vikings are 4-0, carried by their defense and the greatest kicker of all time, with almost zero offense, and they just signed a 33-year old OBJ.

I’ll say this, they are anything but boring.
