NFL.com loves themselves some Vikings

Not really.  I watched the 15 top plays video on that.  No Vikings plays at all.  Steelers/Pats and Giants Philly dominated that video.

The crew at NFL.com has been hoisting the Viking flag for about 5 weeks now hardcore. The top highlights don't mean much to me, those 2 games you mention were nailbiters, they should get the love. We annihilated a poor team on Sunday...more of a national 'yawn' moment. They've had the Vikings no lower than #3 in their rankings for quite some time, higher than anyone else. 

I stand corrected, somebody does love Minnesota more than NFL.com:

"Some people have branded him (Keenum) a backup....so he's either the best backup in the NFL or a middle of the road starter. He's every bit Kirk Cousins to me and they can win a Superbowl with Keenum"

Comparing Case to Cousins sounds about right to me.  Case is more mobile (and a Viking), so I might favor him over Cousins, actually.  B)

And Case has learned to limit the bonehead plays that still plague Cousins after all these years.

Cousins doesn't have the team around him Case does.  Not knocking Case just Kirk might have to take more chances.

Fair comparison probably.

Rank: #2 11-3 VIKINGS

OK, so it's not a cute story anymore. No more Case Keenum sure is doing a nice job for the Vikings... they're a pesky team ... If Carson Wentz was a certifiable MVP candidate, then Keenum is, too, regardless of his (lack of) draft pedigree, whether or not he was only supposed to be a backup and his status as the fourth-most-famous starting quarterback in the NFC North. @vikings">Against the Bengals on Sunday, all that the former Houston Cougar, Houston Texan and Los Angeles Ram did was go 20 of 23 for 236 yards, two touchdowns and zero picks. That's 10-plus yards per attempt, broham. Couple that with a defense that doesn't take any sh$#, and you're seeing a Super Bowl team.

I like this statement - DAMN STRAIGHT BROHAM - that is 10 PLUS yards per attempt - we are seeing a SUPER BOWL TEAM!

That's better than last week's commentary below. Apparently the fans don't have to complain anymore.

The Vikings remain in the No. 3 spot despite @Panthers" title="Link: http://www.nfl.com/gamecenter/2017121001/2017/REG14/Vikings@Panthers">a tight road loss to the Panthers. Minnesota simply couldn't stop Cam Newton when it mattered. Actually, the Panthers QB posted putrid passing numbers, but those 62-yard runs kinda count, you know? All in all, Carolina put up 216 rushing yards on Mike Zimmer's defense. Still, I'm keeping the Vikings at No. 3 because that was their first loss since Oct. 1, and it came at the end of an extremely tough stretch where they played theRedskins on the road, returned home to face the Rams, then had three straight roadies against teams that currently boast winning records (Detroit, Atlanta and Carolina). So there you go, Minnesotans -- you happy? No fan base has complained about its team's ranking more than Vikes supporters, as evidenced by the YouTube comments of the "NFL Power Rankings" show. Honestly, at least half the section each week consists of Minnesota fans saying they're getting no respect and should be ranked higher. Well, in order to be No. 2, you gotta beat No. 8.
