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

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.

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.

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

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. :confused: 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!

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.
