That's how muddy the NFC is this year. 0:01:22.040 --> 0:01:25.120 But they win streak ends at five, and you know 0:01:25.120 --> 0:01:27.480 what time to start a new one? A week from tonight, 0:01:27.720 --> 0:01:31.679 Vikings Monday Night Football hosting the Bears. The Broncos, meanwhile, 0:01:31.720 --> 0:01:34.440 have won four straight. And you know, this is one 0:01:34.480 --> 0:01:38.600 of those games where you hate to simplify things too 0:01:38.760 --> 0:01:42.200 far or drill something so far down to something so 0:01:42.440 --> 0:01:45.280 basic and fundamental. In a game in which the Vikings 0:01:45.280 --> 0:01:50.160 offense had seventy plays last night, they dominated time of possession. Okay, 0:01:50.200 --> 0:01:52.480 so if I told you that the Vikings offense had 0:01:52.480 --> 0:01:54.920 the ball for nearly thirty five minutes, you'd love that. 0:01:55.200 --> 0:01:57.800 What about the Vikings defense. They held the Broncos to 0:01:57.840 --> 0:02:00.880 five field goals. You'd love that they were five in 0:02:00.920 --> 0:02:04.200 the red zone last night. You'd adore that. You'd love 0:02:04.280 --> 0:02:06.800 that they were two of twelve the Broncos offense on 0:02:06.920 --> 0:02:09.720 third down, that they had less than three hundred yards 0:02:09.760 --> 0:02:12.440 of total offense in that game. You love all of 0:02:12.480 --> 0:02:15.359 those things and you'd be thinking that's a victory, right. 0:02:15.919 --> 0:02:19.800 The turnovers three turnovers last night by the Vikings offense 0:02:20.160 --> 0:02:24.079 certainly the tied turner in terms of making a win 0:02:24.280 --> 0:02:27.480 or taking a win and making it a loss. Very 0:02:27.520 --> 0:02:30.720 frustrating game, I'm sure for all involved out there, frustrating 0:02:30.720 --> 0:02:33.679 as a Vikings fan. An opportunity to continue the win 0:02:33.760 --> 0:02:38.160 streak fell short because of some takeaways by the Broncos defense, 0:02:38.200 --> 0:02:42.239 who now have twelve turnovers created by that defense in 0:02:42.280 --> 0:02:45.359 their last three games. What a run for the Broncos, 0:02:45.680 --> 0:02:47.840 and that's a story of their four game win streak. 0:02:48.240 --> 0:02:50.400 Next segment, you're going to get to hear Kevin O'Connell 0:02:50.480 --> 0:02:53.520 right after the Vikings loss and the previous five games 0:02:53.520 --> 0:02:55.919 were wins, but Ben Lieber gets the chance to sit 0:02:55.960 --> 0:02:59.120 down with him for an exclusive postgame interview that airs 0:02:59.160 --> 0:03:02.760 exclusively on Kfan. You'll hear that next segment, But let's 0:03:02.760 --> 0:03:05.640 rewind to the action where Josh Dobbs, playing in his 0:03:05.720 --> 0:03:08.880 third game for the Vikings, made his second start last 0:03:08.960 --> 0:03:11.760 night and Vikings get the ball to start this one, 0:03:11.960 --> 0:03:15.680 and as I mentioned earlier, turnovers, turnovers, turnovers. For the 0:03:15.720 --> 0:03:18.680 fifth time this season, the Vikings cough up the ball 0:03:19.040 --> 0:03:21.519 on their very first offensive possession. 0:03:21.880 --> 0:03:24.359 Dobbs shot done for the first time this game. 0:03:24.440 --> 0:03:27.560 Now TJ. Hawkinson goes under center and he tosses it 0:03:27.639 --> 0:03:29.040 to Dobbs who runs. 0:03:28.840 --> 0:03:31.960 Around the left side and countered behind the line of primit. 0:03:31.960 --> 0:03:34.359 And he dropped the ball and the Broncos have it. 0:03:34.680 --> 0:03:38.360 The opportunistic Broncos turned over the Vikings on a trick 0:03:38.440 --> 0:03:43.520 play and the bumble recovery goes to Jaquan McMillan, second. 0:03:43.200 --> 0:03:44.800 Year corner from East Carolina. 0:03:45.160 --> 0:03:48.680 The Broncos have turned over the Minnesota Vikings. 0:03:48.280 --> 0:03:49.640 A lot to sink your teeth into. 0:03:49.720 --> 0:03:53.280 On that opening drive, Joshua Dobbs actually fumbled it twice 0:03:53.360 --> 0:03:56.200 in the first three plays of the game. Very first 0:03:56.360 --> 0:03:59.680 center to quarterback exchange, josh drops the ball, ends up 0:03:59.680 --> 0:04:02.720 getting it to Madison for a seven yard run. And 0:04:02.760 --> 0:04:05.440 then on that play right there, a little bit of trickery. 0:04:05.480 --> 0:04:05.960 It was TJ. 0:04:06.040 --> 0:04:09.280 Hawkinson under center, he flips it to Dobbs. Didn't seem 0:04:09.320 --> 0:04:12.320 like it was blocked up very well. He gets absolutely 0:04:12.440 --> 0:04:14.360 crushed right at the first down marker. 0:04:14.640 --> 0:04:15.400 It was third and one. 0:04:15.440 --> 0:04:17.880 A lot of people questioning last night, Hey, third and one, 0:04:18.839 --> 0:04:20.839 just handed off to Madison, Just hand it off to 0:04:20.880 --> 0:04:23.720 ty Chandler. Maybe you do a quarterback sneak. You have 0:04:23.839 --> 0:04:27.320 a lot of options in that spot. Was the trick 0:04:27.360 --> 0:04:30.440 play necessary? Kind of gets into the territory of well, 0:04:30.440 --> 0:04:32.520 if it works, we love it. It could have been an 0:04:32.520 --> 0:04:35.400 explosive play if it was blocked up right, all of 0:04:35.440 --> 0:04:39.040 those things. Kareem Jackson, who's just returning from a suspension 0:04:39.080 --> 0:04:41.479 for the Denver Broncos, by the way, was fined like 0:04:41.680 --> 0:04:45.680 fifty grand and week five or six for just nasty 0:04:45.839 --> 0:04:49.279 illegal hits, suspended for four games, appeals it to two, 0:04:49.279 --> 0:04:54.760 comes back from suspension immediately just spears Josh Dobbs on 0:04:54.839 --> 0:04:58.839 that play, helmet to helmet, it's not called Vikings end 0:04:58.920 --> 0:05:01.760 up turning the ball over there on the fumble, and 0:05:01.920 --> 0:05:05.719 thankfully this Vikings defense came to play last night, holding 0:05:05.760 --> 0:05:08.240 them simply a Will lutzfield goal. 0:05:08.720 --> 0:05:12.320 Watts is seventeen of nineteen on field goals thirty one 0:05:12.400 --> 0:05:15.960 yard try right half snapspot Will Lutz, the former Saint 0:05:16.960 --> 0:05:19.920 nails it and the Denver Broncos have taken a three 0:05:20.040 --> 0:05:20.680 zero lead. 0:05:21.120 --> 0:05:23.800 So in some ways you're happy because the Vikings limited 0:05:23.839 --> 0:05:27.080 the damage. Still bitter, however, that you open up the 0:05:27.160 --> 0:05:30.160 game with the giveaway when you're looking at a Broncos 0:05:30.240 --> 0:05:32.320 team who have done nothing but feast on them over 0:05:32.360 --> 0:05:36.520 their winning streak. Nine turnovers created by the defense in 0:05:36.560 --> 0:05:38.960 the last two games, nine turnovers and wins over the 0:05:39.000 --> 0:05:42.440 Chiefs and Bills ten total over their three game win streak. 0:05:42.440 --> 0:05:43.760 That's an a topic into a game. 0:05:43.800 --> 0:05:48.080 When you identify super massive outlier stats like that, that's 0:05:48.080 --> 0:05:52.240 a focus, and the Vikings failed to observe that at 0:05:52.320 --> 0:05:54.880 least for the opening drive. Teams exchange a couple of 0:05:54.960 --> 0:05:58.479 ponts three nothing Broncos, and then the Vikings embark on 0:05:58.520 --> 0:06:02.880 a ten play drive, absolutely beautiful with explosive. 0:06:02.360 --> 0:06:04.279 Runs like this from Madison bike. 0:06:04.160 --> 0:06:06.920 Zoe if two on third down hand off Alexander Madison, 0:06:06.960 --> 0:06:09.839 he's encountered in the backfield, takes the tackle, breaks another, 0:06:10.080 --> 0:06:13.120 and he's backing Broncos to the twenty took up fifteen. 0:06:13.440 --> 0:06:18.440 Alexander Madison came to play tonight baby fourteen yard run 0:06:18.760 --> 0:06:21.320 first down to the Vikings deep in the first quarter. 0:06:21.520 --> 0:06:23.919 So early in the game, you try a trick play 0:06:24.080 --> 0:06:26.920 doesn't work, turn the ball over. This time third and one, 0:06:26.960 --> 0:06:29.400 they just handed off to Madison. He goes for fourteen 0:06:29.480 --> 0:06:32.200 or fifteen yards and the Vikings are in business. And 0:06:32.279 --> 0:06:34.400 on the first play of the second quarter they capped 0:06:34.440 --> 0:06:36.680 it off with a touchdown bird and short from the 0:06:36.680 --> 0:06:39.680 Broncos three and Dops goes play action, rolls out to 0:06:39.720 --> 0:06:41.320 the right, Jonathan Cooper's. 0:06:40.960 --> 0:06:43.919 All over him. Dobbs goes down to his knees to 0:06:44.000 --> 0:06:44.680 the end zone. 0:06:44.920 --> 0:06:50.720 Touchdown, Josh Dobbs to Josh Oliver and the Minnesota Vikings 0:06:50.760 --> 0:06:53.640 have taken the lead six ' three And they had 0:06:53.760 --> 0:06:55.560 Josh dead to rights, but. 0:06:55.560 --> 0:06:58.680 He's so strong he wouldn't go down and the Vikings lead. 0:06:58.960 --> 0:07:01.359 And there's some of that Obs magic now on the 0:07:01.400 --> 0:07:05.320 play he rolls out probably could have easily found Alexander 0:07:05.400 --> 0:07:09.120 Madison for a touchdown, so he didn't have the dramatics 0:07:09.160 --> 0:07:11.440 on the boundary as he had to shake off a 0:07:11.520 --> 0:07:15.080 defender to then find Josh Oliver for the touchdown. But 0:07:15.120 --> 0:07:17.960 in the end at six points, Vikings lead seven to nothing. 0:07:18.000 --> 0:07:19.800 After the extra point, then they. 0:07:19.640 --> 0:07:22.840 Force a three and out by the Broncos offense and 0:07:22.880 --> 0:07:25.560 are right back at it with nine plays another fifty 0:07:25.560 --> 0:07:28.000 five yards and big plays like this to TJ. 0:07:28.080 --> 0:07:31.480 Hawkinson, two receivers left, temper rushes, four dobs, great drop, 0:07:31.680 --> 0:07:33.760 he's still in the pocket. Now he's just gonna heave 0:07:33.800 --> 0:07:37.840 it to a wide upen Hawkinson caught up to fifteen chop. 0:07:37.720 --> 0:07:38.360 Down at the. 0:07:38.480 --> 0:07:43.760 Ten by Coreem Jackson. Twenty nine yard hit to an 0:07:43.840 --> 0:07:48.040 uncovered TJ. Hawkinson and it's person in Gole, Minnesota. 0:07:48.160 --> 0:07:50.960 Sadly, the Vikings couldn't convert that into a touchdown. They 0:07:50.960 --> 0:07:53.280 were two of four in the red zone last night. 0:07:53.320 --> 0:07:55.800 If they get six on either of those two missed 0:07:55.840 --> 0:07:58.320 opportunities in the red area, then if you're doing the 0:07:58.360 --> 0:08:00.400 simple math, then you translate. 0:08:00.200 --> 0:08:01.560 That into a Vikings victory. 0:08:01.840 --> 0:08:04.240 But they settled for a short Greg Joseph field goal 0:08:04.320 --> 0:08:07.320 ten to three lead late stages of the first half, 0:08:07.520 --> 0:08:10.720 Broncos respond couple of explosive plays, one to Jerry Judy, 0:08:11.200 --> 0:08:13.680 one to Courtland Sutton. They get on the board with 0:08:13.720 --> 0:08:16.040 another field goal, so now it's ten to six, and 0:08:16.120 --> 0:08:18.680 there was a moment where Vikings had the ball. It 0:08:18.760 --> 0:08:22.800 was third and short in Broncos territory. They throw the ball, 0:08:22.840 --> 0:08:26.480 it's incomplete, and then they punted on fourth and one 0:08:26.880 --> 0:08:29.600 ends up being a touchback. Russell and the Broncos able 0:08:29.680 --> 0:08:32.120 to convert another field goal right at the buzzer of 0:08:32.160 --> 0:08:34.240 the second quarter to make it ten to nine at 0:08:34.280 --> 0:08:37.080 the break, and the Vikings defense back on the field 0:08:37.160 --> 0:08:40.280 with that one point lead to start the third quarter, 0:08:40.280 --> 0:08:42.920 and they force another punt, and they force another punt 0:08:42.960 --> 0:08:45.880 because DJ Wantam in the mix, Daniil Hunter in the mix, 0:08:45.920 --> 0:08:47.200 and these guys were making plays. 0:08:47.280 --> 0:08:49.800 Second and seventeen from the eighteen and Wilson's out of 0:08:49.840 --> 0:08:52.720 the shotgun. It's a screen left and that thing has 0:08:52.760 --> 0:08:56.640 blown up immediately at the fifteen yard line by Daniil Hunter. 0:08:57.240 --> 0:09:02.360 Hunter was able to capture McLachlin for a loss of three. 0:09:02.640 --> 0:09:06.240 So for Daniel Hunter, that is his second tackle for 0:09:06.320 --> 0:09:10.439 loss of this game, sixteenth this season, which leads everybody 0:09:10.480 --> 0:09:13.200 in the NFL. It's third down, and how about DJ 0:09:13.320 --> 0:09:18.800 Wantum Listen takes the snap on third down looking left, 0:09:18.840 --> 0:09:19.600 steps up. 0:09:19.559 --> 0:09:22.880 Hey sacks Russell Lostam was sacked. 0:09:22.800 --> 0:09:24.640 At the eighteen yard line. 0:09:25.000 --> 0:09:28.480 Dj Wantum, DJ got him. 0:09:29.240 --> 0:09:31.360 I'm actually getting ahead of myself here. That was from 0:09:31.440 --> 0:09:33.560 later in the game. I just got excited while hearing 0:09:33.559 --> 0:09:36.840 that Daniel Hunter highlight. The combination of what Danil's doing 0:09:36.920 --> 0:09:39.960 gaming game out and now DJ wantum and how he 0:09:40.080 --> 0:09:42.440 is finally We've been waiting for it a bit, but 0:09:42.520 --> 0:09:46.040 he is finally just exploded on the scene. How good 0:09:46.080 --> 0:09:49.920 he's been pending free agent. So another money related conversation 0:09:50.040 --> 0:09:52.760 down the road, but DJ want him. Another terrific game 0:09:52.840 --> 0:09:55.480 last night. But back to that first drive of the 0:09:55.520 --> 0:09:59.280 third quarter. The Broncos punt, so it's Vikings ball, first 0:09:59.320 --> 0:10:02.480 possession of the third quarter for them, it's nine plays, 0:10:02.720 --> 0:10:05.640 it's sixty nine yards. And while we've seen it now 0:10:05.679 --> 0:10:08.000 in the third game with Josh Dobbs, if if he 0:10:08.080 --> 0:10:10.280 can't find somebody to throw it too, he'll just run 0:10:10.320 --> 0:10:10.840 it himself. 0:10:11.040 --> 0:10:14.600 Hurt Nate tops out of the shotgun, looks left, steps up, 0:10:14.640 --> 0:10:22.960 runs to the ten five touchdown. Joshups put a ten 0:10:23.080 --> 0:10:28.760 yard rushing touchdown in the Minnesota Vikings lead sixteen nine. 0:10:28.880 --> 0:10:31.200 I'll tell you last night, I'm watching this game and 0:10:31.240 --> 0:10:34.960 I'm feeling because I'm emotional, and I'm a thirty eight 0:10:35.040 --> 0:10:35.559 year old man. 0:10:35.679 --> 0:10:38.800 Child it feels to me in this moment, and you. 0:10:38.760 --> 0:10:41.319 Combine that with, by the way, the ensuing possession by 0:10:41.320 --> 0:10:44.160 the Broncos, they go three and out. So now it's 0:10:44.240 --> 0:10:47.160 midway through, there's six and a half minutes left. As 0:10:47.200 --> 0:10:51.439 the Broncos punt, you're up seventeen to nine. That Broncos 0:10:51.520 --> 0:10:55.680 offense is not scoring a touchdown. This Vikings team is 0:10:56.200 --> 0:10:59.440 not going to lose this game. All they have to 0:10:59.480 --> 0:11:01.640 do is hold on to the ball. I was listening 0:11:01.679 --> 0:11:03.280 to the radio call on my way in to do 0:11:03.440 --> 0:11:06.680 fan line. I even heard the announcer mentioned it a 0:11:06.679 --> 0:11:09.040 couple of times. If we just don't turn it over, 0:11:09.280 --> 0:11:11.760 there's really no way we can lose this game. That's 0:11:11.800 --> 0:11:16.120 how lopsided it was last night. With our offense commanding 0:11:16.200 --> 0:11:20.400 time of possession, their offense sputtering to dead halts and 0:11:20.520 --> 0:11:21.440 punting all day. 0:11:21.840 --> 0:11:23.560 It was so one sided in that. 0:11:23.559 --> 0:11:28.680 Moment until the next drive was six and a half 0:11:28.720 --> 0:11:33.520 minutes left. Riley Dixon punts it. It's a touchback Vikings 0:11:33.559 --> 0:11:38.280 ball six plays, forty six yards and the. 0:11:38.320 --> 0:11:42.200 Fumble Johnny Munt in motion behind Dobbs, who's under center handoff. 0:11:42.200 --> 0:11:44.960 Heleen all on her now said he dropped it. Flag 0:11:45.040 --> 0:11:45.480 on the play. 0:11:45.520 --> 0:11:49.200 It was recovered by Josie Jewel i ser Madison fumble 0:11:49.320 --> 0:11:52.599 and Jewel fell on it at the thirty five yard line. 0:11:53.040 --> 0:11:55.560 Yeah, so it's Broncos ball, and this would be the 0:11:55.679 --> 0:11:59.840 drive once again where dj Wanham gets that sack on 0:12:00.040 --> 0:12:00.560 third down. 0:12:00.600 --> 0:12:01.200 You heard that. 0:12:01.679 --> 0:12:04.960 So they settle for Will Lutz's fourth field goal of 0:12:05.000 --> 0:12:08.400 the night. So now it is seventeen twelve Broncos. 0:12:08.720 --> 0:12:09.880 Now we need to respond. 0:12:09.960 --> 0:12:13.360 Let's get this offense moving again. But on the ensuing possession, 0:12:13.400 --> 0:12:17.439 our response one play and another turnover. 0:12:17.640 --> 0:12:20.640 Dobbs has sixteen rushing yards. Be nice to get about 0:12:20.640 --> 0:12:24.679 a fifteen here. For fifteen goes back to pass Hennessy crows. No, 0:12:25.400 --> 0:12:27.720 he threw it right to a Bronco after it was 0:12:27.760 --> 0:12:32.880 deflected Dan. The interception goes the way of Jaquan McMillan 0:12:33.320 --> 0:12:36.960 and eleven yard return and another Vikings turnover. 0:12:37.320 --> 0:12:39.280 Is keeping this Broncos team in the game. 0:12:39.720 --> 0:12:42.800 Indeed, it's just an avalanche of bad news. You get 0:12:42.800 --> 0:12:45.920 the fumble, then you get the interception there and Vikings 0:12:45.960 --> 0:12:48.720 defense continue to stand tall, and it's Will Lutz with 0:12:48.760 --> 0:12:50.280 his fifth field goal of the night. 0:12:50.679 --> 0:12:54.120 Will Lutz with a twenty eight yard try left hash 0:12:54.240 --> 0:12:54.800 high snap. 0:12:54.840 --> 0:12:58.560 It's put down by Dixon and that's a high five 0:12:58.600 --> 0:13:00.960 for will Watsy's five five on field. 0:13:00.640 --> 0:13:04.160 Goals, seventeen fifteen, still in favor of the Vikings, ten 0:13:04.200 --> 0:13:06.160 and a half minutes left in the game. Some people 0:13:06.200 --> 0:13:09.200 are mad at Madison because of that fumble. Other people, 0:13:09.240 --> 0:13:11.960 if you look at Ty Chandler whipping in pass protection 0:13:12.440 --> 0:13:15.920 that ends up forcing that Dobbs interception. If we can 0:13:16.040 --> 0:13:18.640 just combine the traits of those two, what kind of. 0:13:18.679 --> 0:13:21.440 Running back would we have? Maybe the perfect one, who knows. 0:13:21.679 --> 0:13:24.120 But in the end, Ty Chandler I mentioned he had 0:13:24.160 --> 0:13:27.040 ten carries for seventy three yards, so seven point three 0:13:27.120 --> 0:13:27.600 a carry. 0:13:27.679 --> 0:13:28.320 You love that. 0:13:28.400 --> 0:13:30.520 Thirty one of them came on a fake punt in 0:13:30.559 --> 0:13:31.559 our own territory. 0:13:31.840 --> 0:13:33.040 Here is a fake. 0:13:33.440 --> 0:13:35.320 It is a fake, and it worked. 0:13:35.520 --> 0:13:39.960 And here comes Time Chandler right side across the fifty 0:13:40.160 --> 0:13:43.120 to the bro coast forty and the Vikings get a 0:13:43.160 --> 0:13:44.760 first down on a. 0:13:44.679 --> 0:13:45.719 Piece of trickery. 0:13:46.240 --> 0:13:50.480 It's thirty two for thirty two with nine oh five 0:13:50.520 --> 0:13:53.360 and running to go in the game. The Vikings flit 0:13:53.520 --> 0:13:56.240 the field and keep the ball with a two point lead. 0:13:56.400 --> 0:14:00.640 What a play, What a call by head coach Kevin O'Connell. 0:14:00.640 --> 0:14:03.400 It's fourth and four at your own thirty one yard line, 0:14:03.400 --> 0:14:05.320 and he calls that fake punt. You could tell in 0:14:05.360 --> 0:14:07.800 some ways the coach was feeling it that you had 0:14:07.800 --> 0:14:10.160 just given up that field goal. You're still leading, but 0:14:10.200 --> 0:14:12.440 the tide is turning. You got to do something. We 0:14:12.480 --> 0:14:14.679 got a hold onto the ball and he did that 0:14:14.760 --> 0:14:17.120 thirty one yards from ty Chandler. That's all part of 0:14:17.160 --> 0:14:19.960 a fourteen play, sixty three yard drive that took nearly 0:14:20.000 --> 0:14:22.640 eight minutes off the clock. They do have to settle 0:14:22.680 --> 0:14:25.440 for a field goal, however, So now it is twenty 0:14:25.840 --> 0:14:28.880 to fifteen in favor of the Vikings and with three 0:14:29.000 --> 0:14:32.960 seventeen left. Russell Wilson He's won eight of his nine 0:14:33.080 --> 0:14:36.200 games against the Minnesota Vikings in his career, whether it's 0:14:36.200 --> 0:14:39.120 Seattle and now Denver, and well, he's done this a 0:14:39.120 --> 0:14:44.440 few times before. Ten plays seventy five yard drives resulting 0:14:44.520 --> 0:14:46.760 in touchdowns like this to Courtland. 0:14:46.440 --> 0:14:50.400 Suck Hurston ten from the Vikings fifteen. Wilson takes the snap, 0:14:50.480 --> 0:14:53.560 Vikings rush six, Russell throwing it to the end zone, 0:14:53.680 --> 0:14:55.440 pot Cortland's cutting touchdown and. 0:14:55.520 --> 0:14:57.400 Makaive Blackman come out up to the. 0:14:57.440 --> 0:15:02.120 En zone fifteen yard touchdown for Portland Sutton. Excellent work 0:15:02.200 --> 0:15:05.760 by Russell Wilson, because the pocket collapsed on him. Like 0:15:05.840 --> 0:15:08.960 the Hall of Famer he will be, he stepped up 0:15:09.160 --> 0:15:14.000 so adroitly bound to Sutton. Portland now has eight touchdowns 0:15:14.040 --> 0:15:16.480 this year, and the Broncs are taking a twenty one 0:15:16.520 --> 0:15:17.160 to twenty lead. 0:15:17.280 --> 0:15:18.400 With a minute three to go. 0:15:18.600 --> 0:15:20.840 The Broncos would attempt to go for two to make 0:15:20.880 --> 0:15:23.760 it twenty three to twenty a field goal game. They 0:15:23.800 --> 0:15:27.040 fail on the conversion, but the Vikings take over just 0:15:27.120 --> 0:15:29.360 over a minute. They got all three timeouts, just have 0:15:29.400 --> 0:15:31.760 to go thirty five forty yards to give Greg Joseph 0:15:31.760 --> 0:15:35.120 a real chance. They sput her out, who's completely disjointed. 0:15:35.160 --> 0:15:38.080 Game ends twenty one to twenty is the final. The 0:15:38.200 --> 0:15:41.640 Vikings are now six and five in the season, and 0:15:41.800 --> 0:15:45.320 because of turnovers, nine points off of those turnovers held 0:15:45.400 --> 0:15:48.720 them to field goals. The bend but don't break aspect 0:15:48.760 --> 0:15:52.440 of it was in play, but three turnovers nine points 0:15:52.520 --> 0:15:54.080 in a one point final. 0:15:53.760 --> 0:15:55.240 Score means a lot. 0:15:55.680 --> 0:15:58.640 Next up Monday night against the Chicago Bears, just after 0:15:58.680 --> 0:15:59.960 this Thanksgiving holiday. 0:16:00.080 --> 0:16:01.120 Looking forward to that. 0:16:01.520 --> 0:16:03.720 Looking forward to seeing hopefully a bunch of you at 0:16:03.720 --> 0:16:06.480 the Friday Football Feast.

Ben Leeber always 0:17:55.520 --> 0:17:57.520 gets a chance to sit in the office with the coach, 0:17:57.600 --> 0:18:00.440 Kevin O'Connell and get his thoughts shortly after the win 0:18:00.760 --> 0:18:03.520 or in this case of loss, and here's their conversation 0:18:03.560 --> 0:18:04.240 from last night. 0:18:04.280 --> 0:18:07.160 Does this game basically just boil down to the minus 0:18:07.240 --> 0:18:09.439 three the take give and the lack of getting the 0:18:09.440 --> 0:18:09.880 ball away? 0:18:10.680 --> 0:18:14.199 Yeah, I mean, there's no question we talked about it 0:18:14.240 --> 0:18:15.959 was kind of the first thing we talked about this 0:18:16.000 --> 0:18:18.200 week as a football team is that's what the Denver 0:18:18.240 --> 0:18:21.320 Broncos had been really gaining a lot of momentum doing 0:18:21.359 --> 0:18:24.119 here at this point in the season was forcing turnovers 0:18:24.160 --> 0:18:28.440 and getting points off those turnovers. So losing it three 0:18:28.480 --> 0:18:31.760 to nothing tonight and the turnover margin was disappointing for sure. 0:18:32.320 --> 0:18:36.280 Thought defensively their ability to respond and hold them to 0:18:36.320 --> 0:18:39.360 three was big. And really, when you lose the turnover 0:18:39.400 --> 0:18:41.560 battle three to nothing and you still have a chance 0:18:41.720 --> 0:18:44.080 down one at the end and maybe give g a 0:18:44.119 --> 0:18:45.920 swing at it to win the football game, I think 0:18:45.920 --> 0:18:47.480 that's a credit to the team effort. 0:18:48.080 --> 0:18:50.080 But those turnovers were critical. 0:18:49.680 --> 0:18:52.159 And they will continue to be a winning and losing 0:18:52.240 --> 0:18:55.520 stat for every team in this league. It just creates 0:18:55.560 --> 0:18:58.280 a lot of things to overcome. It provides a lot 0:18:58.280 --> 0:19:00.960 of opportunity on a night when our defense was limiting 0:19:01.320 --> 0:19:03.680 some of those opportunities to win the time with possession 0:19:03.680 --> 0:19:05.560 the way we did run the football the way we did, 0:19:06.160 --> 0:19:08.159 there was a lot of things really good in all 0:19:08.160 --> 0:19:11.200 three phases of the fake execution by Matt Daniels. Guys, 0:19:11.880 --> 0:19:13.640 there was a lot to try to win the football 0:19:13.640 --> 0:19:15.679 with tonight. I credit our guys for their effort, but 0:19:16.320 --> 0:19:18.760 in the end, you know, the turnover battle will always 0:19:18.760 --> 0:19:21.439 be the story of every season, not just this season. 0:19:22.160 --> 0:19:23.879 Going on the road and losing it three nothing. 0:19:24.640 --> 0:19:27.040 You know, it seemed like there was some lack of 0:19:27.520 --> 0:19:31.639 downfield shots and attempts. That was that a product of 0:19:31.720 --> 0:19:33.800 game planed by you guys or something you guys saw 0:19:33.840 --> 0:19:35.640
