00:00The Minnesota Vikings are not just 3-0. The Minnesota Vikings are 3-0 in a wildly impressive

00:10fashion. They are also 3-0 against the spread with two of those three covers outright victories

00:17as an underdog at home. Yesterday hammering Houston 34-7. Minnesota wins outright as a

00:262-1.5 point underdog regardless of where you got the number. They are 3-0 for the first

00:32time since 2016 and Sam Darnold looks like he did back in 2016 at USC. He has been sensational

00:41for the Vikings. Everybody is loving it offensively. Aaron Jones, Justin Jefferson and Minnesota

00:47off to an unbeaten 3-0 start. Yeah and you take a look now, it's funny, now we're starting

00:52to say to ourselves, hey, Sam Darnold maybe just had a rough go to start his NFL career.

00:56He came in highly touted as a very good quarterback and now you're seeing the fruits of his labor

01:01in a good system with a good offensive head coach. Very efficient, 17-28, Buck 81, four

01:06touchdowns, a passer rating of 119.2. You'll take that each and every time but I want to

01:11ask you this too. We look at the offense, Aaron Jones, great pickup coming over from

01:15Green Bay, 19 catches, excuse me, 19 carries for 102 and then had five catches for 46 yards

01:20and a touchdown. This was him in his prime in Green Bay that you're now getting in Minnesota,

01:24which is sensational. We know Justin Jefferson is unguardable, 6-for-81 here. You're also

01:28getting some decent play for some younger wide receivers and waiting for some injured wide

01:32receivers to come back but let's also credit Brian Flores and that defense. Absolutely sensational

01:38through three weeks here. We were looking at the Minnesota Vikings coming into the season saying,

01:42okay, nice pickup at running back. Who knows what they're going to get a quarterback. We

01:46know Justin Jefferson will be there but nobody talked about that defense and they've been

01:49phenomenal through three weeks and it's not as if they're playing, once again, the Carolina

01:53Panthers week one, week two and week three. That was the Niners offense they shut down and that

01:57was the Houston Texans offense they shut down. It's been so, so impressive so far for Minnesota,

02:03deserving 3-0 and now instead of saying the New Orleans Saints might be the best team in the NFC,

02:08is it now the Minnesota Vikings? They were awesome yesterday.
