The Minnesota Vikings had moved on, comfortable going in a new direction at punt returner and distancing themselves from one of the biggest first-round draft misses in team history. All it took was one injury for both Marcus Sherels and Laquon Treadwell to come back. When Chad Beebe was put on injured reserve on Tuesday […]

The Minnesota Vikings have brought back a pair of familiar players, signing cornerback/punt returner Marcus Sherels and wide receiver Laquon Treadwell. The moves were made on Tuesday, when the Vikings placed wide receiver/punt returner Chad Beebe on injured reserve with an ankle injury and waived linebacker Devante Downs. Beebe was hurt on Sunday in a […]

As the Minnesota Vikings marked the 50th anniversary of their first team to reach the Super Bowl, even their game plan was a tribute to time gone by. The Vikings have built a sound defense over six years under head coach Mike Zimmer, a unit that can dominate as thoroughly as any in the league […]

VIKINGS 34, RAIDERS 14 NFL rushing leader Dalvin Cook cruised past the 100-yard mark for the third straight game, while Kirk Cousins rebounded from his rattled performance the week before with a turnover-free afternoon. The defense had plenty to do with the victory, too. An interception by Harrison Smith of an overthrow by Oakland’s David […]

Near the end of an already flawed performance, Kirk Cousins and the Minnesota Vikings were in prime position to pull ahead of the Green Bay Packers and make all the cringe-worthy plays that came before moot. Then Cousins made the mistake of all mistakes, a rookie-like decision to throw off balance toward Stefon Diggs in […]

Dalvin Cook gave the Minnesota Vikings hope. He just couldn’t quite carry them past Aaron Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers. Cook ran for a career-high 154 yards and a long a touchdown to help the Vikings make it close after they looked as though they were going to get blown out in a 21-16 […]

PACKERS 21, VIKINGS 16 Aaron Rodgers threw two early touchdowns on a day when the Packers honored late Hall of Famer Bart Starr at halftime. Rodgers put on quite a show – particularly early. Rodgers completed nine of his first 10 passes for 134 yards and two touchdowns and had a perfect 158.3 rating through […]

Having missing 19 of his first 34 games in the NFL with the Minnesota Vikings because of injuries, Dalvin Cook has barely scratched the surface of the impact he can make carrying the ball, and occasionally catching it. After Cook returned from a hamstring problem that kept him out of five games last season, quarterback […]

VIKINGS 28, FALCONS 12 Anthony Harris highlighted a thorough thrashing by Minnesota’s defense with two interceptions of Matt Ryan and a fumble recovery. Dalvin Cook carried a revived running attack, while Eric Wilson recovered his own blocked punt at the Atlanta 21-yard line on the first possession of the game, and the Vikings were well […]

For most of last season, all they could do was watch. Watch as the Atlanta Falcons tried desperately to fill their spots. Watch as the team tumbled to a losing record. When Deion Jones, Ricardo Allen and Keanu Neal take the field for Sunday’s season opener at Minnesota, they’ll be eager to show just what […]
