Watching this “game “ on Thursday night I can’t believe we had close games with either of these teams. The Seahawks look terrible the bears are terrible.

Read on X could be up to 1/4 of the seats have pucker fans this Sunday just gross. Kinda thought about going but holy cow is it expensive.

Cold, wet outdoor game where one of the two QBs was still pretty hobbled and the other team isn't really playing for anything. It isn't surprising it was low scoring. But I don't think it indicates anything about the relative quality of the Vikings. The Bears objectively should have lost by about 10+ in that second game and were very fortunate to send it to overtime IMHO. As for the Seahawks, they were at home and needed the game pretty bad. They laid it all on the table against the Vikings and then watched as Sammy D put a fork in them late. That's got to leave a mark, and I think that showed a bit against the Bears.

As for the game against the Packers in Minnesota, it's pretty common for about half of the stadium to seemingly be Packer fans. It is right across the border from Wisconsin and plenty of Packer fans call Minnesota home. Plus, selling tickets to that game has always been profitable, but is even moreso this year with both teams in the playoffs. It may not provide a great home field advantage for the Vikings, but at the same time it will make for a very lively crowd. :govikes:
