not sure why but I'm getting the Spanish broadcast for Green Bay and Minnesota.

My VPN is connected as US so I have no idea why?

Game on the line the 2nd down contested catch by Jefferson gets them to 3rd and short and then Akers bails out Darnold on a bad throw with the catch to ice it.

Darnold is going to get rich and he's definitely improved but I can't help but think he's going to get massively overpaid and be a huge disappointment

Akers had to stop and reach low for that catch

Great hands

If the Vikings don't win the SB this year it's going to be a crusher. Every instance that could go wrong for them works out. McCarthy gets hurt, Darnold has a Bob Beamon type year. Today is the 8th win this year by less than a TD, they are 8-1 in games decided by less than a TD only the Lions loss.

Hard to believe they will do that well in the future but their receiving group is so good with Jefferson, Addison and company that they're just really good

The Rams are actually -14 on the year and 10-6 but it makes sense because of the time played without Kupp and Nacua. When healthy they're really good, without those guys they weren't.

Statistically the Lions should be the best team they're almost +200 in point differential.

Found this funny (sounds like some of our options in the past).

Seattle Seahawks playoff clinching options:

Seahawks beat the Rams, and
Commanders lose to the Falcons, and
Saints lose to the Buccaneers, and
Panthers lose to the Falcons, and
Forty-Niners lose to the Cardinals, and
Forty-Niners lose to the Lions, and
Eagles lose to or tie the Giants, and
Vikings lose to the Lions, and
Packers lose to the Bears, and
Chiefs lose to the Broncos, and
Jets lose to the Dolphins, and
Bills lose to the Patriots, and
Raiders lose to the Chargers

I went and looked up both of their stats for that year. Pretty interesting. That was the year Baker was traded to the Rams mid season. No, he did not have a good year. But I remember he had a game or two for the Rams very late where he was good and then he signed with Tampa.

Darnold took over and was the better QB compared to Baker that year. But certainly nothing that jumped out to make him a hot commodity. In fact, both of them were pretty much written off at that point.
