These make me happy.

#Vikings Pass Defense on 3rd down allowing 27.2 QB Rating (0 TDs, 5 INTs, 5 Sacks). For perspective, the Lions are last w/ 140.9 QB Rating

These make me happy.

Another stat that you might like. The Vikings have not allowed a score in the 3rd Quarter. So, if the other team defers, so far it hasn't worked out well for them.

Vikings offensive lineman Isame Faciane was charged with three misdemeanors on Thursday after a citation for DWI on Wednesday. Faciane, who is been on the Vikings' practice squad, shifted from the defensive line to the offensive line last year.

Well probably another offensive lineman gone.

Havent heard of this guy. Who still drives after drinking enough fora DUI? You can still have a nice dinner with 2-3, over a few hours, and be safe, instead of taking a chance of killing someone.

Vikings qb Taylor heinicke said he woke up today expecting to practice but then Rick spielman told him he would start Wednesday instead

Mike Zimmer was noncommittal on Isame Faciane's future with the team. Said his arrest was not very bright.

In their last 16 regular season games:
Vikings 13-3
Lions 9-7
Packers 8-8
Bears 5-11

Point differentials over their last 16 regular season games:
Vikings +113
Lions +7
Packers -10
Bears -45

Wow

Diggs didn't practice again today

Jarius Wright, Sharrif Floyd and MyCole Pruitt are not practicing as the Vikings return from their bye week. Guard Isame Faciane, who was charged with misdemeanor DUI on Thursday, also was not present. Linebacker Anthony Barr returned to practice after sitting out last Tuesday.

Awesome to hear

Captain: "This might be one of the best practices coming back from the bye I've been in. We were locked in and flying around." #Vikings

[PurpleMustReign]

Wow

Unreal.

[Mothman]

Wow

I'm not sure how they arrived at 113 for the Vikes. That sounded high to me so I checked it and came up with 106. Maybe i added wrong. Either way it's still impressive. It's interesting that it's the Lions, not the Packers, who are the only other team in the NFCN with a positive point differential.

If this is any indication, the Vikes are definitely the team to beat in the division now!

Poor Clemmings is all sorts of mixed up. Here's hoping Long can at least play on the right team!

They should have kept Shepherd instead of Clemmings.

It would make me so happy to have this line solidify and find a few players to anchor it going in to next season instead of feeling like we need to address RG and both T positions.

Per @FiveThirtyEight The Minnesota Vikings are the only NFL team who are favored every game for the rest of the year.

#Vikings have released Isame Faciane, who was arrested last week for suspicion of DWI, from their practice squad, brought back Tre Roberson.
