Purple Insider - a Minnesota Vikings and NFL podcast

From Miami, Paul Hodowanic joins Matthew Coller to break down a bizarre and ugly win for the Minnesota Vikings over the Miami Dolphins. What happened to the offense? Why weren't they able to spread the ball to anyone except Justin Jefferson? How did the defense give up over 450 yards but only 16 points? What did Kevin O'Connell say about the way they played in his postgame press conference.
