00:00dramatic comeback yesterday in Minneapolis. The story of the

00:06Vikings season, really the last three years or so win a close

00:11game. The Vikings do that prevailing in a comeback 2322 at

00:16home against the Arizona Cardinals. Now the cards do

00:19cover as a three and a half point road underdog, a total of

00:2245 and a hook does go over in the Minnesota Vikings DRS. Now a

00:27tenant to football team this year, seven of those 10

00:31victories by just a single score, they were down 19 to six

00:35under five minutes remaining in the third quarter, and they

00:39stormed all the way back to beat Arizona, the Vikings tenant to

00:44still hot on the heels of the Lions in a very competitive and

00:49FC North division. And if it's not going to be a divisional

00:52title, as the oddsmakers do not expect the Vikings certainly a

00:56stronghold on a wildcard spot right now in the NFC.

01:00No, and again, they are the forgotten team in the NFC. We're

01:02focused on the Philadelphia Eagles getting a lot of hype and

01:05pub as they should. We're focused on the Detroit Lions

01:07getting a lot of hype and pub as they should. If the Minnesota

01:09Vikings played, let's just say in the NFC West, they'd be

01:12getting the equal amount of hype. But the problem is they

01:15play in maybe the most competitive division in

01:17football, and yet they squeak out a victory yesterday, which I

01:20like to see. Sam Donald was bad for most of that football game.

01:22He was getting buried in the pocket, not making great

01:25decisions, not finding Justin Jefferson. They woke up in the

01:28second half, he threw two touchdown passes. Thank

01:30goodness. That was my best bet yesterday on pro football.

01:32Today, he threw one late in the third quarter, then one into the

01:34fourth quarter, which basically was what another minute to go in

01:38the game to sort of seal the deal for them. Like the way

01:40Minnesota played, love the fact they came back. And also, the

01:43Arizona Cardinals are no pushover. And I think I missed a

01:46little bit again saying, you know what preconceived notions

01:49on the Cardinals playing good defense. I think today it

01:51snaps, not granted. Justin Jefferson, seven catches for 99

01:54yards. Sam Darnold had 235 and they had two touchdowns, which

01:57was a good performance. But for the majority of that game, where

01:59you had a two touchdown lead for the Arizona Cardinals saying

02:02that, is this defense for real? Like how good of a coach is

02:05Jonathan Gannon? But the cream rose to the top. Minnesota

02:07Vikings were able to make the plays they needed to make, which

02:10included a late fourth and seven conversion to Justin Jefferson

02:13to keep that final drive alive. So I want to give a lot of

02:15credit here to the Cardinals in that loss. This is a team that

02:18will fight you tooth and nail, and they did that yesterday.
