On Crossover Thursday, we'll talk about Stafford, Chase Daniel, and David Blough, and get to know the Lions' defense. Have they fixed the issues that the Vikings punished in 2019? How can the Vikings stymie Marvin Jones? Will Kyle Rudolph continue to own the Lions, as he so often has? Plus, the Wednesday injury report, and a review of all the revenge game narratives in this one.

The Vikings haven't had any COVID positives, and are hopefully good to practice Wednesday. No movement on the trade deadline, not that we expected any. Then, we'll tlak about Eric Kendricks, Dalvin Cook, and the good play from the front seven on defense and the offensive line that helped keep the Vikings out in front.

In a game dominated by wind and Dalvin Cook, the Vikings stave off a late comeback attempt to stun the rival Packers. Kirk Cousins threw 14 passes, Dalvin Cook notched 226 and 4 TDs, and the Vikings escaped with an unlikely win. They lost almost all of their cornerbacks, including two hospitalizations, and were able to stop Aaron Rodgers at the end with the help of game situation. We'll pick this whole thing apart and take a moment to bask in the victory!

The Wednesday injury report had some good news and some bad news. Cook and Elflein returned to practice on a limited basis, but the cornerback room is decimated. Cameron Dantzler is on COVID-IR, Hill and Hughes aren't practicing, and even Kris Boyd is limited. Then, we'll hop on the line with Peter Bukowski of Locked On Packers to get a sense for where the Packers are at since we last met.

The Vikings traded Yannick Ngakoue to the Ravens just two months after trading for him, Danielle Hunter is on ice for the season, and George Iloka even tore his ACL. So we'll pick up the pieces of that decision, what it means for the organization and the other edge rushers on the team. Finally, a rooting guide for the bye week that focuses more on the Vikings' draft position and less on the Vikings' slim chances of turning the season around.
