00:00Minnesota figured some things out in that second half, especially how'd you get into

00:09the end zone pulling off a 21 to 13 victory over the Colts. But look, we saw some big

00:13defensive plays from the Colts. We saw a lot of high energy. We saw more sack and turnovers,

00:19but don't take my word for it. Let's figure out what Tom has going on.

00:23Yeah, we slow game to start things off with a clear lack of scoring. So, you know, first

00:29off, if you have the under that absolutely crushed, uh, interceptions from both quarterbacks

00:34is what we saw. Uh, ultimately like this is the game that the Vikings needed after, after

00:39like two losses, especially like a really close loss face mask, whatever you want to

00:43call it at the end of the Thursday night game from last week, I guess, you know, like this

00:48was the get right spot for them. And I'm going to say that they looked good overall. Obviously

00:51the two interceptions from Sam Darnold is not what you want to see, but two 90 and the

00:55three touchdowns is absolutely awesome. Obviously the return of TJ Hawkinson to their lineup

01:01is good to see Aaron Jones was good on the ground, but not great. You know, 21 of 64

01:06obviously got those yards and those carries later in the game to kind of ice it away with

01:10the first downs, which is certainly good to see like this was a good step for the Vikings

01:14in terms of getting back on track. Now we could say like, do we take this with a bit

01:19of grain of salt because the Colts offense has been pretty bad, obviously with the change

01:22of quarterback, Anthony Richardson being benched, Joe Flacco coming in, he looked good

01:26at times like there were like a few throws. I'm like, okay, the Colts offense has something

01:30here, but they got absolutely nothing going on the ground, which is, you know, kind of

01:33their calling card with Jonathan Taylor. They got a few deep passes to, you know, Pierce

01:38and Josh downs. But other than that, it was kind of a dull game. And ultimately they didn't

01:42score an offensive touchdown. We got to remember that the first touchdown game came because

01:47of the sack fumble recovery, a defensive touchdown for the Colts. And they got these field goals

01:52so the Vikings defense kept them in check start to finish. It was a really good game

01:57from them. And I think the Vikings of course are on the way to competing for the division

02:02and making the playoffs.
