Back from their bye, the Vikings (1-5) are preparing to visit the Packers (5-1) for the 121st Border Battle, a noon (CT) Sunday rematch between rivals that opened the 2020 season in Week 1 with a 43-34 win by Green Bay. Minnesota's coaches spent much of last week self-scouting and evaluating factors that have led to a disappointing start by a team that won 10 games and a road playoff game in 2019. They also tried to better understand how a team that lost by one point to Tennessee and at Seattle (who are both now 5-1) dropped a bad beat against a previously winless Atlanta team on the way to the bye. "I'm just trying to dig into everything," Head Coach Mike Zimmer said Monday. " 'What can we do better, how can we win a game in the fourth quarter, how can we be better at time of possession, how can we be better on defense in the passing game?' Quite honestly, 'How can we help these young players to play with more confidence and play with better technique?' That's really what we're trying to do, more than numbers." Vikings.com
It's all about heart and toughness now and who wants to be a Minnesota Vikings for the rest of the 2020 season
Aaron Rodgers thinks it's crazy that Zimmer might be on the hot seat Really he seems to get out coached like Marvin Lewis did, you would think after all this time is he the one to take the Vikings to their 1st SB victory and get a qb that can move in the pocket cause Capt Kirk ain't got it
Some actually believe that the pandemic will go away after the election comes and goes next Tuesday. The powers-that-be in Minnesota have yet to get that memo. Via Courtney Cronin of ESPN.com, the Vikings won’t have fans at their next home game, on November 8 against the Lions. The Minnesota Department of Health guidelines continue to restrict capacity at indoor venues to 250, due to the ongoing coronavirus outbreak. The Vikings have not received any type of exemption or dispensation from this restriction. The Vikings have five remaining home games. After Week 10 against the Lions, the Vikings host the Cowboys (Week 11), the Jaguars (Week 12), the Panthers (Week 13), and the Bears (Week 15). At 1-5 and with 1-6 likely looming on Sunday at Green Bay, the Vikings fall squarely into the category of teams that give the NFL real concern in the final two months of the season: Non-contenders whose players become lackadaisical when it comes to avoiding the virus.
This virus just won't go away the pandemic is just awful the 2020 season is a lost cause i.wonder what the Vikings will look like in 2021 man i.hope Capt Kirk is not a Vikings
For the second time this week, a Vikings player has been sidelined as a result of the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic. In results received this morning a Vikings linebacker tested positive, Adam Schefter of ESPN reports. Vikings rookie cornerback Cameron Dantzler was placed on the reserve/COVID-19 list on Wednesday. It’s unknown whether Dantzler actually tested positive or whether he was placed on the list because of close contact with someone who was infected. There has been no indication yet that the Vikings’ scheduled Sunday afternoon game at Green Bay will be affected. NBC
I just started watching the game and to my surprise it's Vikings 7 Packers.7 oh no Cam Dantzer ( sp ) an injury they don't need the defensive backfield is already weak
Another Dalvin Cook TD that's 3 where was this showing some heart against the Falcons Vikings 21 Packers 14
Nice effort but it was PI the Vikings good game by the O-line and the Defense hasn't been awful but it's a little to late to save the 2020 season IMO
