Q4, 1:41 remaining — Second-and-4 at the Minnesota 46 That final detail opens up options for Offensive Coordinator Gary Kubiak and Cousins on the following play. Carolina again rushes just three players, and the quarterback works the middle of the field to Kyle Rudolph to cross midfield for a...

seven catches for 70 yards and a pair of scores. Breech, who gave the Vikings a 'B-' grade on Sunday, wrote: Don't give that Offensive Rookie of the Year award to Justin Herbert just yet, because there's another Justin who might be more deserving by the end of the season. The Vikings were...

Cousins' completion percentage of 75.6 was the highest in Week 12 (doesn't include Monday's game or Tuesday's rescheduled game). According to Next Gen Stats, Cousins was expected to complete 64 percent. His excess of 11.6 points was the second-highest this week. Bridgewater's completion...

Here are four other topics Zimmer covered: 1. Quarantining a QB? The Broncos on Sunday were without all four quarterbacks after one tested positive for COVID-19 and the other three were deemed "close contacts." Zimmer was asked if he's considered quarantining or isolating one of the...

And with the clock ticking, Cousins kept churning, hitting Rudolph for a 25-yard gain before safely throwing the ball away out of the back of the end zone. His 45th and final pass of the day — a season high for Cousins — ended in the hands of Beebe for a 10-yard score that tied the game at 27...

Minnesota's solid defensive performance helped the Vikings overcome critical mishaps in the game, including the muffed punt and fumbles by Kirk Cousins and Dalvin Cook that were returned for touchdowns on back-to-back plays by Panthers safety Jeremy Chinn. Penalties also tripped up the team...

"Great job versus Cover 0, the first touchdown just went inside across his defender's face, and then the second one, again, is just trying to be patient with him and let him run his route, and he did a great job finishing the play, because linebackers there, they're coming, and I've seen those...

The Vikings jumped back in the win column after defeating the Panthers on Sunday in comeback fashion. Let's see some of the best tweets throughout the night from the victory over Carolina, including WR Adam Thielen going crazy after the Vikings clutched the win:

Let's talk Kirk Cousins. Distributed the ball, getting even production in catches and yards from multiple targets. Used his legs to extend drives. Hated the fumble, but no question he was the better QB on Sunday. He has been playing extremely well overall lately. — Jeff Kilty in Sacramento...

The Vikings have released the list of players that will not dress on Sunday. Tight end Irv Smith Jr. (groin) is officially out for the game on Sunday after being downgraded to that status on Saturday. Guard Ezra Cleveland (ankle) did not practice this week and was listed as out on Friday's...

MINNEAPOLIS — Whew. Wide left was a good thing for the Vikings for once. A 54-yard field goal attempt by Carolina's Joey Slye pushed left of the uprights, and Minnesota exhaled with a 28-27 victory on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium. Chad Beebe's 10-yard touchdown reception on a pass from Kirk...

MINNEAPOLIS — The Vikings playoff hopes are still alive … somehow. Minnesota rallied for a stunning 28-27 win over Carolina on Sunday, completing a wild and wacky fourth-quarter comeback in which the Vikings overcame a double-digit deficit with less than six minutes remaining in regulation...

Kubiak on Brett Jones' mentorship of Garrett Bradbury: Brett Jones made his first start since 2018 when he stepped in at right guard for an injured Ezra Cleveland last week. The reserve center/guard has been with Minnesota since 2018 after two seasons with the New York Giants, and he's held...

Zimmer has long preached the importance of the final 10 minutes of the fourth quarter to his team, and has seen mixed results in 2020, which could be due to an influx of youth on defense. He said it's tough to harp on that aspect during the season but noted the Vikings will need to be prepared...

Vikings teammates 'looking after' younger brothers playing collegiately While cross-country travel to visit family hasn't been an option for the Vikings this season due to COVID-19 testing and restrictions, players are keeping close tabs on younger brothers currently playing at the college...
