CHI (4-9) at MIN (11-2)
Really, this is the game that will be of most interest.
I hope that the Bores will relish the role of being "The Spoiler" and play hard enough to give the Vikes a run for their money.
I just won't hold my breath waiting for that to happen.
The Vikes are a much better team on both sides of the ball, playing at home, and should be motivated to win and tie Detoilet for the division lead.
I can't see Chitcago overcoming all of that.
ATL (6-7) at LVR (2-11)
Kind of the same situation as CHI/MIN, but on a much smaller scale.
The Falcons are the better team, but who knows which Cap'n Kirk is going to show up this week?
Good Kirk should mean Atlanta walks away with this game.
Bad Kirk means it'll be a much closer game and will give the Raiders an actual chance of winning.

No Maxx Crosby....
Atlanta in a laugher
I have to admit but that all white uniโs and crowd wearing white is pretty cool, even though itโs the viqueens
There is a timefor going for itโฆand a time not to
We're all about the whites!
Go Bares! Ouch, that sent a rush down my colon.

Bold call but they should not have called a toss , better to do a qb sneak, but thatโs why bears still suck
These Viking uniforms are hideous.
Live shot of cousins, warming up, practicing his fumble technique. Lol.
Bears LT is going to get Caleb killed with that kind of effort
Textbook lookout block.
First play I saw was Williams coughing up the ball on a viking pass rush. vikings have been lucky to play teams like the bares.
Jonathan Owens (not) covering Justin Jefferson, better the Bears than the Packers I guess.
This game looks over, already. I hope the Bares can come back and beat these neverbeens.
Aikman praising the vikings front office for putting their team together. Aikman and Buck said the same thing about the bares, in the preseason.
The Bores needed a pre-game motivational speech from Ditka.
Vikings ๐ฌ๏ธ
"We are one of 32 teams, we can all create alternate jerseys, and other teams do have white jerseys," Vikings Creative Director Alicia Dreyer acknowledged. "So we wanted to create something that we could uniquely own, that was solely the Minnesota Vikings."
Um, the Vikes Winter Warrior uniforms look like the Packers Winter Storm uniforms, which theyโve already worn twice this year. ๐คฃ Same designer?
Bares letting the vikings convert on 3rd and long. Gonna need a turnover to get things going.
JJ channeling Deebo
Jefferson drops a sure TD pass.
viking coach going meathead! INT!!!
Darnold Channeling Geno
Then the Bores intercepted a pass they shouldโve just knocked down ๐ ๐

Ding, ding. Ding. Now they gotta do something with it. Or notโฆ

They played the Pack tooโฆlucky I guess
Terrible series by the bares.
LOL Vicklings
Running into the kicker by the vikings. Gives the bares a 1st down.
It's weird how long Caleb's jersey is, same thing with Josh Jacob's. You'd think if they're going untucked they'd get it hemmed so there's less to grab at.
Bares think theyโre the Loins in 4th down, but 2x fail. Bear down Bares.
Bares coach goes meathead and the bares turn it over on downs.
Not thrilled that the Queens seem to have a franchise QB.
I hope Darnold feels vindicated.
He was treated worse than crap in NY, but, based on this year, it would appear he was not the problem.
Imagine that.
There will be some team that will pay the going rate for starting QBs for him, but if the Vikes are serious about playing McCarthy, they can't pay Darnold $40-$50M/yr.
Collectively the color scheme with the crowd and being where they are is a great idea. But the jerseys are just a bit blah. You can't read the horns on the helmets, which would seem to be the most important thing. And if you're too much of a hothouse flower to play your home games outside, I guess you may as well make your rube fans pretend their snow.
Raiders RB almost gets stuffed in the endzone. Next play: Safety.

They have an agreement to bring in Rodgerโs next year?!

He will not be a back up
