MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Shiancoe caught 240 passes for 2,424 yards and 24 touchdowns in his five seasons with the Vikings.

On Sunday, the Vikings will be back in London, facing the New Orleans Saints at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium. Four players remain from the 2017 team who will play again in England: edge rusher Danielle Hunter, linebacker Eric Kendricks, safety Harrison Smith and wide receiver Adam Thielen.

Pro Football Focus ranked Darrisaw as the Vikings’ top run blocker in the game against Detroit. And according to ESPN, Darrisaw is the fourth-best tackle in the NFL this season in its run-block ratings.

The injury is similar to the one Cook suffered Nov. 28, 2021 at San Francisco. He sat out a Dec. 5 game at Detroit before returning to rush for 205 yards on Dec. 9 against Pittsburgh while wearing a shoulder harness.

The 6-foot-1, 195-pound receiver out of LSU will be the focus of most, if not all opposing defenses for the rest of the season. He’s just that good. With Jefferson taken out of the offense, Adam Thielen (six catches, 61 yards and a touchdown) and Osborn (5-73-1) got the lion’s share of Cousins’ targets, which was enough to beat the Lions on Sunday.

It wasn’t always pretty, but it was a good win. An important win, particularly for a team still finding its legs. There’s a big difference between 2-1 and 1-2.

It was a resounding comeback by the Vikings, who heard boos when they fell behind 14-0 in the second quarter and 24-14 in the third quarter.

After a rough start to last season, Joseph has emerged as a secret weapon of sorts for the Vikings

After a 0-10-1 start a year ago, the Lions closed the season with three wins in their final six games, and now they look to be even better.
