The team is in prime position to truly compete for the title!
No game tomorrow. I will be watching the Ravens vs the Commanders as that is on where I am at. I will be rooting for the Cardinals to beat the Packers and the Cowboys to beat the Lions.

Let’s see what our readers had to say
We’ve got the results of our SB Nation Reacts Survey for this week, so let’s get to what you folks thought about our Minnesota Vikings questions during the bye week.
Our first question, once again, had to do with how confident everyone is that the Vikings are moving in the right direction. Just like last week, the overall number is still pretty high, but there was the slightest of drops.
Of those who...

No corresponding move has been made yet
With their bye week about to come to an end, the Minnesota Vikings have made a roster move along their defensive front that might be a bit of a head-scratcher.
The team has announced that they have waived defensive lineman Jalen Redmond. The move leaves them a bit thin on the defensive line with just five players on the current roster at the position.
Redmond signed with the Vikings after a short but...
Don't call it a comeback for Vikings QB Sam Darnold, he's been here the whole time.
Brian Flores is a madman. When the Vikings blitz, currently at the second-highest rate in the league, opposing offenses are averaging 4.5 yards per play.
No team is perfect, but some have much bigger issues than others. Here is one potentially fatal flaw for every NFC North team.
Geno Smith’s memorable 2022 season earned him the NFL Comeback Player of the Year honor, but a new clarification to the award makes his win hypocritical.
The success of Minnesota Vikings quarterback Sam Darnold this season has been one of the biggest stories in the National Football League this season. Not only has Darnold been successful, but he's also been winning awards, as he was the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for September.

Not anymore, anyway
With the renaissance that Sam Darnold has had over the first five games of this season with the Minnesota Vikings, his name has been attached to several awards in this early part of the season. One of those awards is the Comeback Player of the Year Award, but apparently he won’t be winning that one no matter how good a season he has in 2024.
Last year, the NFL “clarified” the criteria for the Comeback...
The Minnesota Vikings are 5-0 heading into the bye week and the defense might be the best unit they have had since the days of the Purple People Eaters.
It's not too often that you get a win which results in the opposing coach getting fired. That happened on Sunday when the Minnesota Vikings beat the New York Jets 23-17 and the latter fired head coach Robert Saleh two days later.
Is there a better defense than the Minnesota Vikings in 2024? The answer is no. They have dominated a fantastic schedule with teams that were deemed Super Bowl favorites during the preseason.

Let’s start the bye week!
The Minnesota Vikings are taking their bye this week, but the action around the NFL continues in Week 6. Tonight, Thursday Night Football takes us to the Pacific Northwest as the Seattle Seahawks play host to the San Francisco 49ers in an NFC West matchup.
The Vikings will see the Seahawks later on this season, and they’ve already taken down the 49ers, knocking them off in their home opener in Week 2. Both of these teams are...
It’s a big reason why the Vikings are 5-0
Normally when looking back at top NFL teams and how they got to be that way, the focus is on how the team drafted. But for the Vikings this season, their early success owes a lot to their 2024 free agent class than any particular draft class.
Sam Darnold, Aaron Jones, Andrew Van Ginkel, Jonathan Greenard, Blake Cashman, Stephon Gilmore, and Shaq Griffin are all starters, while Jerry Tillery and Jihad Ward have made significant...
The Minnesota Vikings are 5-0 heading into the bye week and the offense has seen its fair share of both successes and struggles. Quarterback Sam Darnold won the NFC Offensive Player of the Month award for September after throwing a league-leading 11 touchdowns and bringing the Vikings to 20-point leads in three of their first four games.
The Minnesota Vikings have wielded a balanced offense on their way to a 5-0 record, but that balance could be undone should RB Aaron Jones have to miss game action.
The Minnesota Vikings offensive line is a contentious topic for the fanbase. After a decade of struggles, especially on the interior, patience with the group is growing increasingly thin.

Arif and James are back to discuss the Vikings win over the Jets. We go over the fallout of the game and the conspiracy theories on the field and off! Why was Darnold overthrowing receivers? What happened in the second half? Who is the QB that’s been GINKED the hardest so far this season?

Episode Notes:
Luke Braun’s piece on the Vikings being “real” and sustainable My piece on the Vikings,...The Minnesota Vikings discussed a contract extension with safety Camryn Bynum this offseason but weren't able to reach an agreement. It raised questions on if the Vikings were interested in bringing back Bynum on a larger contract because of the nature of the safety market.
The Minnesota Vikings have a bye week in week six and are currently tied at the top of the NFL standings and are undisputedly at the top of the NFC standings with a 5-0 record.
