    Mind you, apparently the Vikings are the first team ever to turn the ball over 3 times, not score a TD and still win. The record is now 1-147!

    Sounds like the Lions victory was akin to ours. Though how terrible must the Texans be to intercept Goff 5 times and still lose.

    As it turns out Tua wasn't great but I won by 0.08 points. That was too close! Still being 6-4 isn't to complain at when I was projected to win only 2 games all season. Admittedly I did add the Vikings defence since then and they have made a big difference.

    Though the bears defence wasn't too bad, whom I drafted.

    Or don't fall for girls with emotional baggage, no matter how lovely and beautiful they might be

    Or in NFL metaphors, don't draft a QB who has a lot of yards or touchdowns but didn't play for a top tier college like Alabama or Louisiana State! As their stats might be over-inflated by playing in weaker divisions, or something

    Vikings had some bad calls go against them against the Rams and Colts. Got a fortunate roughing call there though which turned a TO on downs into a TD.

    Eurgh, Vikings defence looking shaky to the deep throws. Thank you ref for saving us that time.

    The last few weeks have shown that even when the Vikings are playing terribly they can beat the worst teams in the league.

    Im hoping it’s a case of playing down to the opposition so when they play someone good they don’t get battered by 30

    Atlanta Falcons are getting brutalised. Poor Kirky.

    I have to say I was impressed with Darnold yesterday. Titans have one of the best defences against the pass in the NFL so it was potentially a very tough matchup for him. But was pleasing to see no interceptions and if it wasn't for the fumble on the opening drive it would have been a very clean game for him.

    Can definitely see Daniel Jones being McCarthy's back up next season. Would be cheap and despite his struggles I think he would be a lot better than Mullens if McCarthy got injured or struggled.
