It was a bullet thrown to his outside hand from 5 feet away. But I'm sure he'll get the blame at the end of the game by you

Was that Kendricks man on the fake punt?

Oh well, Vikings still have the lead and are still shutting out the Bears offense

Yeah I think the Bears did a good job with that trick play. Didn't think the Vikings screw up there

You're exactly right. The most likely place for a fake punt is in plus field position.

McKinnon was down anyway.

But he's a disaster returning kicks.

I loved the idea originally but I agree. The problem is if we get Adams or Coley back there we have to have someone else inactive. Unless it's Sherels. And...why not. Sherels at KR. I'm fine with it.

Nice block, Elflein, on the screen.

And now a pair of penalties.

Please get out of this stadium with a win.
