Vikings Territory works in partnership with PurplePTSD, similarly doing their utmost to put forth excellent Minnesota Vikings content. As a result, we occasionally promote what they have to offer. Take a look at five of their articles from the early part of the week.
1) Let’s Talk About the Overlooked Vikings Contributors in Week 10: Players like Patrick Peterson, Dalvin Cook, and Justin Jefferson are getting a lot of the attention. Obviously, they’re all great players. That being said, Minnesota’s wins have been the result of several players stepping up. I, for one, was thrilled to see C.J. Ham score that TD, but there are others to discuss, as well.
2) Vikings Add New TE in Neverending Quest: Losing Irv Smith Jr. to injury hurt, and don’t forget that Jacob Hollister is now with the Raiders. That leaves Minnesota with T.J. Hockenson, Johnny Mundt, Ben Ellefson, and Nick Muse. Kevin O’Connell, quite evidently, likes having three tight ends active. Given that Ellefson may still be getting into shape, perhaps another addition at TE makes sense.
3) The Eagles Loss Means The Vikings are Now Tied for First Overall in the NFL: Getting to first overall is an impressive accomplishment for the Minnesota Vikings. Nevertheless, it’s worth remembering that the goal isn’t to finish with the best record. The goal for the regular season is to get into the playoffs and then win it all. Finishing atop the podium will help to accomplish that larger goal.
4) Vikings Win Classic Thriller against Bills in Statement Game: It really was a statement game. People can debate how great Minnesota is but we really can’t debate whether they’re great. At 8-1, we can say with confidence that the Minnesota Vikings are among the top teams in the NFL.
5) Hall of Fame QB Endorses Kirk Cousins: Kirk Cousins has been playing excellently in 2022. Sure, the stats haven’t been as abundant, but the wins have been huge. It’s the reality of having his team at 8-1 that makes Cousins’ season so impressive. The QB1 is giving the team the right stats, not the most stats. He has led 5 game-winning drives.
Enjoy the extra reading, Minnesota Vikings fans. Skol.
