Why Cook is poised for a big Sunday vs KC...
Film review: Why Vikings' Dalvin Cook is poised for another big Sunday in Kansas CityDalvin Cook must have smiled when he learned Packers running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams combined for 262 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns at Kansas City.
Dalvin Cook must have cracked a smile when he learned Packers running backs Aaron Jones and Jamaal Williams combined for 262 yards from scrimmage and four touchdowns on Sunday night against the Chiefs — his next opponent at Arrowhead Stadium this weekend. Or maybe one just hasn’t left his face so far this season.
At the halfway point, Cook’s all-time pace (currently 2,232 yards from scrimmage) would give him the 17th-best season in league history. He’s given the Vikings offense a real threat underneath, a perfect complement to a vertical play-action passing game

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
its going to boil down to interior line play, can our OGs and C move their DTs by themselves allowing the 3rd OL to get to clear a run lane by getting to the next level, or will we have to double team just to open a hole at the line and then expect the RB to make the LB or S in the hole miss before getting their run on? If their DT can cause our OGs to help the C or vice versa then it wont be nearly as productive as it could be and has been for other teams.

I think our Offense will be ok against their weaker D.
I hope that Zimmer has sent the NFL video of a few of the bullshit holding calls we got last week and let them know he has been a good soldier so far and has sucked it up and not said anything publicly, but other top teams are not getting these calls.
The Vikings need to control the game clock with the run game and keep the Chief's offense off the field, along with a strong showing from the defense forcing the 3 and outs...I don't want to see a shoot-out with this game.
@"AGRforever" said:if we can run the ball that will keep their O on the bench and grind the tempo of the game which will keep our D fresher longer and less susceptible to those mistakes that their skills players can force. we need to run the ball to win this game, it also takes the crowd out which is one of the best homefield advantages in sports... the red sea is something to see personally if you have never made a game there.. its damn impressive how well they hold their tickets despite how well Minny fans travel and how close that would be for our opposing fan base to take over a stadium.@"JimmyinSD" said: its going to boil down to interior line play, can our OGs and C move their DTs by themselves allowing the 3rd OL to get to clear a run lane by getting to the next level, or will we have to double team just to open a hole at the line and then expect the RB to make the LB or S in the hole miss before getting their run on?

Cousins played a lot of games outdoors in Washington.
KC is a tough place to win.
Will be interesting to see how the Vikings execute.

Sunday, Monday, Thursday...any day he's poised for a big day...

So when I open up my dog-eared historical Viking's script book it says, 'Game where Vikings will shit the bed'.
Jimmy " ...the red sea is something to see personally if you have never made a game there.."
I agree it is an awesome home field advantage for the Chiefs! Been there three times and will be making it number 4 this weekend! Hope to bring home a "W"

The Vikings last win at Kansas City was in 1974.1-6 all time at KC.
KC has lost 3 straight home games, they're fighting for playoffs. Much like @ Detroit game. KC really needs a win
Bed crappage iwith skidmarks is definite possibility.
I know I'm sniffing yellow glue with purple shades on. I'll admit it.
Vikings haven't played a game this year, where they won in all 3 phases .
