Former Minnesota Viking Jeremiah Sirles joins Matthew Coller to dive deep into what's working for the Vikings and where they need to improve to battle against the Eagles and the Cowboys etc. in the playoffs. What is Jeremiah seeing in the Vikings' defense? Is it as simple as opponents attacking the weaknesses? On the offensive side, can they find their identity in the final five games?

The 2022 Vikings' biggest believer, Brian Murphy, isn't shying away from enjoying the ride, but he'd like the Vikings to start blasting opponents when they get a chance. The game against the Jets may have been indicative of a playoff-type atmosphere, and the Vikings must find a way to pull away when they get ahead. What can they do to improve before the season's end?

Matthew Coller and Jonathan Harrison talk about a crazy day in the NFL, capped off by Aaron Rodgers getting hurt in a loss to the Philadelphia Eagles. Is there any chance the Vikings could still catch the Eagles for the No. 1 seed? Will Rodgers retire at the end of this year? Should the Packers just play Jordan Love the rest of the way? Also, did the Vikings finally catch a bad break with Mike White starting? And hey Jim Harbaugh just beat Ohio State. Remember when he was almost the Vikings coach?
