***2026 Minnesota Vikings***

There was a span of about 15-20 minutes where I thought Bercich was going to fight a Washington fan sitting in front of the press box. You could hear it going on on air. Lol.
That was hilarious. PA kept dropping little play by plays of that situation, and I was wondering if it would actually turn into a situation.
 
Vikings have a 4.5 game lead in their division, by far the biggest in the NFL. Vikings are well on track to to be the first team to clinch a division title.

Would be first division title since 2017 and the first home playoff game since the Minneapolis Miracle.

Winning is a BIG help obviously, but KOC and this staff has let Kirk be himself and he’s winning a lot of the fans over. The “Kirko” persona is phenomenal and hopefully we get another chain wearing Kirko next weekend on the flight home from Buffalo!
 
A lot of talking heads commenting postgame that the Vikes are pretenders. Maybe. But I'll take all of these close game wins over losing five in a row like GB.
Tighten up the pass game defense and the Vikes may actually do some damage in the playoffs.
I have thought they’ve been getting by with smoke and mirrors up until this week. Eventually you have to buy into the smoke and mirrors though. Plus the defense has made great strides.

I think the defense is the big thing that now you can say the team is legit. The D is not going to consistently shut people down, but they are playing a lot better now.

Interior OL struggled in the pass game today, but WAS has an impressive front 4 even with Young out. But the OL overall has been good in the run game and has really minimized penalties.

The Vikings are apparently pretenders everywhere outside of 4th quarters. They've played lights out to end games all season long. They aren't winning any games in impressive fashion, but they surely keep winning.

Honestly I think it comes down to playing clean, mistake-free football down the stretch. I don’t think the O line has been called for a single holding penalty this season. Be perfect at the basics and things will generally turn out OK
 
The Viking are playing well. I don't think they are elite yet, but they are very good. The Bills will be a good benchmark to see where they are. I'm not picking the Vikings to win at Buffalo, but you never know.

I still think the Vikings have not yet reached their ceiling. The offense is still figuring things out. The Defense is much better than last year. Signing Zadarius was a huge move that is paying off.
