Happy Wednesday Kirk Cousins Jersey , everyone!We’ve made it to the peak of the week, it’s an easy downhill coast into the weekend, and the next big game for our beloved purple and gold. I hope they’re keeping their focus on Detroit, because we’ve seen the Lions dig deep and play well above their seasonal average when they play the Vikings. On paper, it looks to be one that the Vikings should be able to handle, but you can throw that paper out the window when it comes to divisional games, especially at this point in the season. It’s the end of the season, the Lions have nothing to lose, and they would like nothing more than to knock off a division rival who has their eye on the playoffs. So, the Vikes better be prepared, and I am confident they will be. The Lions defense has had a decent year, they’re about at the middle of the pack in most statistical categories, with the pass defense slightly above average, and the run defense slightly below average. In a deviation from the norm, it’s their offense that has been hurting them Marcus Sherels Jersey , and that is mainly due to a rash of injuries. Their WR corps was bombarded with injuries early in the season, and it has shown in their production. The Vikings secondary is very good in coverage, so I expect to see Detroit try to get the ball out quickly. If they have Stafford sit back in the pocket waiting for a WR to get open, the defense may shatter that single game team sack record that they tied earlier this season. In looking through some stats, I see that the Vikings are 4 for 11 this year on field goals from 40-49 yards. That’s 36%. Might as well just go for it on 4th if the ball is between the 23 & 33 yard lines, the conversion % would likely be higher than 36%. They’ve also managed to miss at least one field goal in every 10-yard incremental category, with the exception of the 10-19 yard category. That’s right, we have not missed a field goal from 10-19 yards this year! We haven’t attempted one, either, but hey, no need to get bogged down in details, gotta celebrate the little victories. If we’re down by 2 points with 3 seconds left in a playoff game, and we line up for a 40 yard field goal to win it, I’m relatively certain that I’ll have a heart attack before he ever kicks it. My dying words will be something about kickers being the root of all evil.........and I’ll also likely blame Ponder, to the confusion of the attending paramedics.Around the DN since our last open thread:Luft Krigare posted Good Morning Gjallarhorn Episode 041 - In the Raw With the Grand Poobah.Ted takes a look at Brian O’Neill Xavier Rhodes Jersey , who is quietly having a pretty good rookie year.

I jumped the gun earlier and used the incorrect phraseology on the original story I did on this, so this will serve as a correction to that. The only excuse I can offer up for the original story is that I messed up, and for that I apologize.It was just announced at halftime of the AFC Championship Game on CBS that Minnesota Vikings tight end Kyle Rudolph was named the winner of the 2018 Walter Payton Man of the Year Challenge. He has not won the 2018 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. . .that award will be given out at the NFL Honors ceremony the night before this year’s Super Bowl.Rudolph won this award as a result of Vikings fans tweeting and retweeting the #WPMOYChallenge hashtag with his last name more frequently than any of the 31 players that he was competing against (each team nominates one player for the award). Winning the Charity Challenge means that Rudolph will receive an extra $25,000 for his charity of choice. I believe that his charity is the University of Minnesota Masonic Children’s Hospital, where Kyle and his wife Jordan have spent a great deal of time and money in their efforts to enrich and enhance the lives of the young people there that are dealing with serious medical issues.Rudolph wouldn’t have gotten this award if not for the efforts of Vikings fans like you folks out there constantly hammering that hashtag on social media. We tried to include it on a lot of our tweets, and I know that a lot of you folks out there were active with is as well.Rudolph is also trying to become the third member of the Vikings’ organization to win the Walter Payton Man of the Year Award. Cris Carter won the award in 1999, and Madieu Williams won the award in 2010.Congratulations to Kyle Rudolph on winning the 2018 Walter Payton Man of the Year Charity Challenge. . .but not the 2018 Walter Payton Man of the Year Award.Not yet, anyway.
