Sound The Horn with Ben Leber and Cy Amundson

It’s time for the Vikings offense to SHOW US where they're going. 👀🏈

KFAN’s Ben Leber and Cy Amundson preview the Minnesota Vikings vs. Miami Dolphins and break down what Minnesota needs to prove in a game it absolutely cannot take lightly.

It starts with Kyler Murray and the Vikings offense. Ben doesn’t need to see anything spectacular — he wants to see Kyler look calm, comfortable and in control. Can Kevin O’Connell get his quarterback into a rhythm with simple throws, build his confidence and finally show that this offense is heading in the right direction?

Then there’s Brian Flores facing his former organization. What does this matchup mean for the Vikings defensive coordinator, and how will Flores attack Miami’s offense?

Even without one of the Dolphins’ biggest weapons, does everything still start with stopping the run? Ben breaks down why Minnesota can’t allow Miami to dictate the game on the ground and create opportunities for explosive plays.

0:00 - 6:11 That do we need to see from offense
6:12 - 8:45 Jordan Addison
8:46 -14:47 Brian Flores vs Miami

What do YOU need to see from the Vikings against Miami?

J.J. McCarthy has been TRADED — and now the pressure is on the Vikings offense. 👀🏈

KFAN’s Ben Leber and Cy Amundson react to the Minnesota Vikings trading J.J. McCarthy and what the stunning move means for McCarthy, Kevin O’Connell and the future of the Vikings at quarterback.

Then Ben takes a deeper dive into the tape from Minnesota’s win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and tries to figure out what is going wrong with the Vikings offense.

Why has Kyler Murray struggled to get things going? How much does the Josh Oliver injury impact what Kevin O’Connell wants to do offensively? And what changes can Minnesota make to finally get this offense playing at the level everyone expected?

What needs to change FIRST for the Vikings offense?

It was not pretty - but the Vikings found another way to win. 😤🏈

KFAN’s Ben Leber and Cy Amundson react to the Minnesota Vikings’ win over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers after another game dominated by Brian Flores’ defense and Minnesota’s special teams.

The Vikings offense struggled to get anything going, and Kyler Murray could never find a rhythm. So how concerned should Minnesota be about an offense that still hasn’t found its footing?

Thankfully, the defense was SPECTACULAR. Brian Flores’ unit took over the game, consistently creating problems for Baker Mayfield and giving the Vikings a chance to win despite the offensive struggles.

And once again, special teams made a massive difference. Myles Turner and Will Reichard delivered huge performances as Minnesota continues to find ways to win games outside of its offense.

0:00 - 4:58 offensive struggles
4:59 - 9:58 defense is dominant again
9:59 - 17:44 special teams was great

What was YOUR biggest takeaway from Vikings-Buccaneers?

Is Baker Mayfield’s HERO BALL exactly what Brian Flores wants? 👀🏈

KFAN’s Ben Leber and Cy Amundson preview Minnesota Vikings vs. Tampa Bay Buccaneers and break down the matchups that could decide the game.

On offense, where can Kevin O’Connell attack the Buccaneers defense? Ben looks at the opportunities for Minnesota’s tight ends against Tampa Bay’s linebackers, how the Vikings can establish the run despite injuries, and whether this might finally be the week KOC unleashes more big chunk plays down the field.

Then comes the chess match between Brian Flores and Baker Mayfield. Baker’s ability to escape pressure, extend plays and play hero ball can make him dangerous — but is that exactly what Flores wants him to try? Can Minnesota bait Baker into believing he can make something happen, force him to keep playing outside structure and eventually make him pay for it?

And who is actually under MORE PRESSURE?

The 0-2 Buccaneers, fighting to keep their season from spiraling with pressure mounting on their coaching staff? Or a 2-0 Vikings team that suddenly has real expectations and an opportunity to prove just how good it can be?

Ben breaks down Vikings-Bucs and the matchups, strategy and pressure that could determine everything.

What is YOUR biggest key to Vikings-Buccaneers?

2-0! It wasn’t pretty, but the defense dominated, and the Vikings found a way. 😤🏈

KFAN’s Ben Leber is LIVE from the field at Soldier Field after the Minnesota Vikings grind out a 9-3 win over the Chicago Bears in an absolute defensive battle.

In difficult conditions, Kevin O’Connell and the Vikings committed to the running game, protected the football, and found just enough offense to survive. But this game belonged to Brian Flores and the Vikings defense, which delivered an unbelievable stop at the end to seal the win.

Ben and Cy break down the defensive performance, Minnesota’s commitment to running the football, how the Vikings handled an ugly divisional road game, and what this kind of win says about the team moving forward.

It wasn’t flashy. It wasn’t easy. But the Vikings are 2-0 to start the season.

The Vikings have a HUGE Week 2 test in Chicago 👀 🏈

KFAN’s Ben Leber and Cy Amundson preview the Minnesota Vikings vs. Chicago Bears and one of the most fascinating coaching chess matches of the week: Ben Johnson’s offense vs. Brian Flores’ defense.

After Flores’ aggressive approach in Week 1, how will he attack a Bears offense that just exploded for 59 points? What adjustments will Ben Johnson have waiting for Minnesota, and who has the advantage when two of the NFL’s most creative minds go head-to-head?

Then there’s Carson Wentz and the Vikings offense. With Kyler Murray injured, what will Kevin O’Connell ask Wentz to do? And if this turns into a high-scoring game, can Justin Jefferson and the Vikings offense keep up?

What REALLY happened in that crazy Vikings-Packers game? 👀🏈

After going back to the tape, KFAN’s Ben Leber and Cy Amundson take a deeper dive into the Vikings’ Week 1 win over Green Bay and what it could tell us about this team moving forward.

Ben starts with Brian Flores and his CRAZY blitz rate. Why was Flores so aggressive against Jordan Love? What worked, what didn’t, and is this the defensive identity we should expect from Minnesota all season?

Then it’s a deep dive into the Vikings run game and Kevin O’Connell’s offense. What did Minnesota show on the ground, what needs to improve, and what did KOC’s revealing post-game comments tell us about how he wants this offense to play moving forward?

Week 1 gave us plenty to celebrate — but the tape tells us a whole lot more.

WHAT. A. GAME. 🤯 🏈

The Minnesota Vikings beat the Green Bay Packers 39-22 in one of the wildest season openers in Vikings history — and KFAN’s Ben Leber and Cy Amundson break down everything that happened.

The Vikings looked TERRIBLE for stretches before completely flipping the game. Kyler Murray goes down, Carson Wentz comes in, and suddenly Minnesota’s offense catches fire. Justin Jefferson delivers a huge performance, Kevin O’Connell’s offense comes alive, and the Vikings turn a frustrating opener into an unbelievable Week 1 win.

And what about Brian Flores’ defense? The Packers moved the ball all day, but when Minnesota desperately needed stops, the defense delivered. Dallas Turner, Blake Cashman, and Andrew Van Ginkel came up HUGE when it mattered most.

What did we just watch?! Ben and Cy give their immediate reaction to the Vikings’ insane Week 1 victory, Murray’s injury, Wentz stepping in, Jefferson’s performance, and a defense that somehow found a way to finish the job.
