Grading the Vikings' 23-16 Win Against the Buccaneers (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Vikings are 3-0 to start the season despite playing in some of the ugliest games ever aired on television. After defeating the Buccaneers 23-16, the Vikings are in a great spot after the first month of football, but there's still plenty to clean up. The Purple and Gold's offense struggled again and was largely bailed out by another elite showing from the defense. So how did everyone stack up? Let's get into my Week 3 positional grades. It shouldn't have been too surprising that the guy who h

The Buccaneers are 0-2 to start the season, so it's reasonable to assume that most things haven't been going especially well. Turnovers and a struggling offense are two big culprits for Tampa Bay's less than ideal start, but there's another huge issue that the Vikings can exploit on Sunday.

Despite early mistakes, the Vikings put up 29 unanswered points on the Packers to win late in dominant fashion, heading into Week 2 with an unblemished record. Plenty of Vikings showed up big, while some others wilted in the moment. Here is who is trending up and who is heading in the opposite direction after the season-opening victory. If there was ever a d
One Under-the-Radar Viking Could Play a Bigger Role Than Expected in Week 1 (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Vikings roster went through an overhaul this year, and after moving on from several defensive starters, it will look much different up front in 2026. But despite the Vikings' heavy investment in the defensive line during this year's NFL Draft, an undrafted free agent from 2025 may be the one making a significant contribution in Week 1 against the Packers. Minnesota added Caleb Banks and Domonique Orange to their defensive front in the first and third rounds of the draft, and while their futu
