00:00Your last game will be Monday night, the other NFC game between the Vikings and the Rams.

00:05Of course, the Vikings, Scotty, they had a real hard time Sunday night in Detroit against the

00:10Lions in that game that could have gotten them the one seed and the bye. Here is head coach Kevin

00:15O'Connell. We got to put that behind us and get ready for the Rams. Playing a team we went on the

00:20road on a short week and played against early this year and they got the best of us. So there's a lot

00:25of aspects of yesterday going into this game that I think we've got the type of people and

00:34the type of environment here and team here that we're going to accept the challenge and go compete

00:40like crazy, Ben, and try to get this thing done against, like I said, a really good team that

00:47gets to play at home, rested some of their guys. All of these things that can be

00:52evaluated as how this game's going to go, in my opinion, don't really matter. We got to prepare

00:57our team, get our guys turned over, get them tactically ready to go and go compete like crazy.

01:03I mean, they laid it so bad on Sunday night and you and I've said on the show a number of times

01:10they're one and done, that they're just not, they're paper champions. It's all smoke and

01:17mirrors with the Vikings. They're just not that good. I'm with you and I think you saw some shades

01:25of that, obviously, on Sunday night in Detroit against the Lions when they played a really good

01:30team. Now, the Vikings are favored here on the road, minus one and a half, 47 and a half total.

01:40I like the Rams. I think you do too. I think we're going to be on the Rams here on Monday night in

01:45this game. Yeah, there's certainly some lean in that direction for sure and Stafford's,

01:52frankly, better than Sam Darnold will ever be. I mean, this guy's won the Super Bowl

01:58and he's really good and I've never felt Sam Darnold was good. And then all of a sudden

02:05this year people started talking about Sam Darnold being a hot commodity in the offseason.

02:10I've even heard rhetoric that he would go to the Jets again. Can you imagine him going back to the

02:14Jets after the way they treated him? Rex and Darnold, two old friends, Rex and Sam Darnold,

02:20bring them both back for the Jets. Why not? Do you think the Jets are hiring Rex Ryan?

02:26I think it's a lot more of a possibility

02:29than some of these other clowns that they're going to interview. I really do.
