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 of five of their articles from the past week.

1) Justin Jefferson Eyeing Record Pace in 2022: It’s hard to keep describing just how great Jefferson has been. Perhaps the most important part of the current season is that he’s playing a major role in the Minnesota Vikings getting to 5-1.

2) Kirk Cousins is Probably Sitting on a Big Game: I happen to agree. When it comes to the statistics, Cousins has only been playing at an average level. Where he has been excellent, though, is in clutch situations. He already has 3 game-winning drives for the season, a strong indicator that he has been able to get the job done when it matters most.

3) Healthy Vikings may get a Boost from Rookie Receiver: Amidst all the trade chatter, it’s somewhat notable that the rookies haven’t had too much opportunity. I don’t think Jalen Nailor is going to ascend into this team’s WR1 in the coming weeks, but it’s possible he can complement the offense. Simply finding a limited yet productive role for the rookie could make a difference for the Minnesota Vikings.

4) Vikings vs. Cardinals – A High Scoring Game like Last Year?: The GM offers his take on how the game may go. Truthfully, I’m nervous about Minnesota’s defense. Containing Kyler Murray is going to take a full team effort. The offense can help by staying on the field; the defense will need to ensure everyone is being disciplined and accountable to their areas of the field.

5) The National Folks Picking the Cardinals over Vikings: I can’t fault people who have some doubts about Minnesota. Several of their wins were close games that could have gone either way. I expect a competitive game tomorrow.

Enjoy the extra reading, Minnesota Vikings fans. Skol.
