Kearse is across from Rudolph and has former Vikings teammate Everson Griffen on his right. Smith goes across the formation as the ball is snapped to Cousins in the shotgun. Smith continues through the formation, and Griffen comes crashing down. Cook, however, picks up the key block. Kearse...

It seems to me that the Vikings are starting to hit their stride. Do you think it hurt this team with so many young players to not have a preseason? It seems to me that it would have given them time to work out the mistakes and figure what their roles were. Younger players always need more...

The Vikings have totaled 448 rushing yards over the past two divisional games behind an offensive line that Zimmer said is "settling in." "When you can run the ball … like we have, it tightens everything up," Zimmer said. "They had a whole bunch of zero blitzes in there today, or extra rushers...

Yet with so many young players on the field, Zimmer said Sunday that his group has progressed in recent weeks. "We've had to change a lot of things because of our personnel with what we've been trying to do defensively," Zimmer said. "So part of it is narrowing some of the package down. Some...

"Dalvin is a terrific player because it doesn't matter to him. Obviously he wants to get 200 yards every week, but he's going to do all the dirty work. He caught a [third-and-10 and converted]. He made a couple guys miss on the flip play late. But he's going to do everything. That's why he's a...

Patricia said earlier this week that star wide receiver Kenny Golladay is "week-to-week" due to a hip injury. If he is unable to play, how will his absence affect Stafford and the Lions passing attack, and who is being looked at to step up in his place? TP: That's a huge loss for the offense...

Patterson on preparing for Adrian Peterson: The Vikings are preparing for a reunion on Sunday with not only Griffen but also running back Adrian Peterson, who played for Minnesota from 2007-16. Sunday will mark the third time that Peterson leaves the visitors' locker room at U.S. Bank...

Peterson provided many memorable moments in Minnesota, whether it was his single-game record of 296 rushing yards back in 2007, or his incredible 2,097-yard season (second all-time) in 2012 when he was coming off an ACL injury the previous year. Vikings safety Harrison Smith said he was in awe...
