We tell you what we thought of the Vikings' performance in their 30-12 victory over the Bears on Monday Night Football and why we're worried about Caleb Williams. Jordan tells you his player of the game, while the guys marvel at what this team has been able to accomplish through the first 15 weeks of the season. We finish on what to make of Seattle and Geno Smith, how the Seahawks can be exploited and where they are dangerous. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

The Kirk Cousins chapter now feels officially closed. The Vikings completely smothered his Falcons on Sunday afternoon, picking him off twice in a blowout win. We enter into the Sam Darnold future debate and discuss if paying Sam long term is the right move after his elite play this season. Next up? Winter Whiteout III on Monday Night Football against the Bears. We discuss whether this is the blowout that it appears to be on paper, what to make of a team on a 7-game loving streak, and why there may still be something left in the tank for Chicago.

They did it again. The Vikings, despite not having their best all afternoon, they were “at their best when their best was required” to eek out a one-point victory to secure their second 5-game winning streak of the season. For the second time in three Kevin O’Connell seasons, they enter Week 14 at 10-2. We discuss the win, a late game key 4th down decision, and whether or not we buy the Vikings as a Super Bowl contender.

The next one needs no introduction: Kirk Bowl 2024 is upon us. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

This team is streaking again. The fourth win in a row - third consecutive on the road - had a little bit of everything: great special teams play, horrible special teams play, efficient and explosive offense, good defense (mostly), and a budding superstar quarterback. Next up is one of Jordan’s preseason darlings, the Arizona (not St. Louis) Cardinals, who haven’t won in Minnesota since 1977. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

The Vikings defense showed up in a major way, allowing only 143 total yards and 7 points, to give their team a chance despite 3 Sam Darnold INTs. A win is a win, and we break down what made it possible in Jacksonville. We finish with a rapid Tennessee preview and what to make of another 2-7 AFC South opponent on the road.

In possibly the weirdest game of the season, the Vikings pulled themselves out of a mini-slump with a dominant yet unconvincing victory over Indianapolis. We cover the good, great, odd, and awful from the winning team. We finish with a look ahead to another AFC South opponent: Will’s Jaguars in Jacksonville on Sunday afternoon. He has some strong words for his disappointing preseason playoff pick. Hosted by Simplecast, an AdsWizz company. See https://pcm.adswizz.com

Thursday Night Football didn’t go as planned; the Vikings shot themselves in the foot too many times to get out of LA with a win. Jordan puts a lot of blame on one particular offensive player. The guys bemoan Christian Darrisaw’s season-ending injury, and talk about how TJ Hockenson can light a fire under the offense. Up next: Anthony Richardson (we think?) and the 4-4 Colts.

Once again, the Vikings dominated another NFL football team. However this time, the Packers gave enough fight in the second half to make it interesting. Next up: Aaron Rodgers and the Jets in London.
