Could the Minnesota Vikings be in for a Giant upset?
I’ll be upset if there are no upsets during Wild Card Weekend, which kicks off today.

Teddy Bridgewater looked very capable last night, aside from the interception, of course

Dan Campbell is far from M’m! M’m! Good!
On this day, most would have taken a can of Campbell’s chicken noodle soup over Dan Campbell on the Detroit Lions’ sideline. At least, the soup would have offered something — nourishment. When it mattered most Sunday on the road in Minneapolis, Campbell left many wondering what they just witnessed a...
Kirk Cousins’ Monday nightmare
In a weak NFC, the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles soundly defeated their Week 1 opponents. They linked up in Philadelphia for a primetime matchup last night....
The further we get away from Mike Zimmer’s firing in Minnesota, the more it sounds like a living hell
