1 00:00:18,840 --> 00:00:21,800 Speaker 1: Are you kidding me? The Minnesota Vikings beat the Buffalo 2 00:00:21,840 --> 00:00:25,200 Speaker 1: Bills in overtime thirty three thirty. Patrick Peterson with a 3 00:00:25,200 --> 00:00:28,480 Speaker 1: couple of interceptions, one that sealed it, and the Vikings 4 00:00:28,480 --> 00:00:32,360 Speaker 1: came from twenty seven ten down back to take the lead, 5 00:00:32,840 --> 00:00:36,040 Speaker 1: and then the Bills forced overtime at thirty thirty. Greg 6 00:00:36,120 --> 00:00:38,440 Speaker 1: Joseph hits the field goal to make it thirty three thirty. 7 00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:42,760 Speaker 1: Peterson picks off Allen and the Vikings are eight and one. 8 00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:45,560 Speaker 1: Welcome to the postgame report. It's You're played by play 9 00:00:45,640 --> 00:00:49,320 Speaker 1: guy Paul Allen with analyst Pete Bursich. You played and 10 00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:52,320 Speaker 1: coached in the game, and you've analyzed it for the 11 00:00:52,400 --> 00:00:55,720 Speaker 1: Vikings radio network for sixteen years. I've called game for 12 00:00:55,800 --> 00:01:00,280 Speaker 1: twenty one years for this football team. This was unbelievable today. 13 00:01:00,320 --> 00:01:02,960 Speaker 1: I can't believe what we saw. It was incredible. And 14 00:01:03,440 --> 00:01:07,800 Speaker 1: this team we've we've we've talked about it, right and 15 00:01:07,840 --> 00:01:11,039 Speaker 1: we've been waiting to see this. This is such a 16 00:01:11,120 --> 00:01:13,880 Speaker 1: different team. This is a team that does not have 17 00:01:13,920 --> 00:01:17,040 Speaker 1: the word quit in their vocabulary. They had, they had 18 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,880 Speaker 1: so much going against them, some of the mistakes early, 19 00:01:20,959 --> 00:01:23,600 Speaker 1: but they hung in there. They turned this Buffalo Bill's 20 00:01:23,640 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: team over four times today, Paul four right, and just 21 00:01:28,920 --> 00:01:33,360 Speaker 1: an outstanding effort Dalvin Cook at the end of this game. 22 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:36,720 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson all day long. I mean, it's just an 23 00:01:36,720 --> 00:01:40,959 Speaker 1: all pro caliber performance by him. And how about Kirk Cousins. 24 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:45,480 Speaker 1: All right, he starts out, I mean, had every excuse 25 00:01:45,560 --> 00:01:47,440 Speaker 1: to just go on the tank, but he hung in there. 26 00:01:47,640 --> 00:01:49,520 Speaker 1: And this whole team hung in there. And Paul, that's 27 00:01:49,560 --> 00:01:52,240 Speaker 1: what they've been doing all year long. Never gave up, 28 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:54,600 Speaker 1: never gave up, hope, got some big plays when they 29 00:01:54,600 --> 00:02:00,360 Speaker 1: needed it, and they came back and won. Improbable. You 30 00:02:00,360 --> 00:02:04,800 Speaker 1: don't touchdown runs somewhere in the equation. How about that. 31 00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:07,920 Speaker 1: You don't. It's like you don't come back from seventeen 32 00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,400 Speaker 1: down to a team that's been in the that's a 33 00:02:10,400 --> 00:02:13,679 Speaker 1: proverbial favorite to go to the AFC Championship Game. I mean, 34 00:02:13,720 --> 00:02:16,040 Speaker 1: to come into this place. By the way, they had 35 00:02:16,040 --> 00:02:18,680 Speaker 1: won six games in a row here, six games in 36 00:02:18,720 --> 00:02:21,240 Speaker 1: a row here. It's so hard to beat this team. Yea, 37 00:02:21,440 --> 00:02:25,640 Speaker 1: in this stadium. The Vikings went ahead and did that. Paul, Yeah, 38 00:02:25,680 --> 00:02:29,280 Speaker 1: it's unbelievable. I mean, take it farther. Pete Christian Dressaw 39 00:02:29,440 --> 00:02:32,040 Speaker 1: leaves the game in the second half, Blake Brandall comes in. 40 00:02:32,320 --> 00:02:35,600 Speaker 1: Now Deresaw was missed on on the extra point team. 41 00:02:35,960 --> 00:02:39,160 Speaker 1: Garrett Bradberry comes running in late. Joseph had to rush 42 00:02:39,240 --> 00:02:41,919 Speaker 1: the extra point. Of course he missed it, and us 43 00:02:41,919 --> 00:02:44,880 Speaker 1: he had that. You got a Caleb Evans playing his 44 00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 1: ass off, forced a fumble recovered by cam binhum Well. 45 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:51,160 Speaker 1: He gets knocked out with a concussion. Andrew Booth Junior 46 00:02:51,240 --> 00:02:53,760 Speaker 1: comes in and and it was a rough debut for him. 47 00:02:53,760 --> 00:02:56,760 Speaker 1: Then he's out. Who's making the play back left of 48 00:02:56,840 --> 00:03:00,840 Speaker 1: the end zone in overtime, Duke Shelley, ninety percent of 49 00:03:00,880 --> 00:03:03,359 Speaker 1: people listening to this right now had no idea he 50 00:03:03,440 --> 00:03:06,160 Speaker 1: was even on our team. No, And you know, yeah, Paul, 51 00:03:06,639 --> 00:03:08,520 Speaker 1: not many people knew that he was on the team. 52 00:03:08,560 --> 00:03:11,639 Speaker 1: But he made the play of his career right one 53 00:03:11,680 --> 00:03:13,239 Speaker 1: on one in the you know, in the corner of 54 00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:15,440 Speaker 1: the end zone. But that's but isn't it kind of 55 00:03:15,440 --> 00:03:18,520 Speaker 1: the theme of this team that's next, whoever gets the 56 00:03:18,520 --> 00:03:22,080 Speaker 1: opportunity goes in there and make something happen. And again, 57 00:03:22,160 --> 00:03:25,480 Speaker 1: that's that's an attitude that this team embraces. And you know, 58 00:03:25,520 --> 00:03:28,360 Speaker 1: Harrison Phillips make it's a big place. I mean them. 59 00:03:28,639 --> 00:03:31,440 Speaker 1: You know, just when you thought we are at the 60 00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:34,560 Speaker 1: one inch line, we try to QB sneak, it doesn't 61 00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:37,880 Speaker 1: get it in. They muff a snap. Yeah, I mean 62 00:03:38,120 --> 00:03:43,520 Speaker 1: Josh Allen. It's Josh Allen and it's This game is 63 00:03:43,520 --> 00:03:45,880 Speaker 1: gonna go down in history. You know, it's one of 64 00:03:45,920 --> 00:03:48,640 Speaker 1: the best games. I think this this the NFL has 65 00:03:48,680 --> 00:03:53,040 Speaker 1: seen this year. Yeah, for us personally speaking, it's one 66 00:03:53,040 --> 00:03:56,119 Speaker 1: of the best games that I've seen in a long 67 00:03:56,400 --> 00:03:59,600 Speaker 1: It's got to be. It's gotta be since twenty eighteen, 68 00:03:59,640 --> 00:04:01,720 Speaker 1: it's got since the miracle, I haven't seen a game 69 00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:05,560 Speaker 1: like this. So the Vikings improved to eight and one 70 00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:10,800 Speaker 1: and are far clear in the NFC North. They win 71 00:04:10,880 --> 00:04:14,360 Speaker 1: thirty three thirty in overtime, and Gabe Henderson and Ben 72 00:04:14,400 --> 00:04:17,400 Speaker 1: Lieber got together following the game. Here's your winning formula. 73 00:04:17,720 --> 00:04:21,440 Speaker 1: Welcome to one of the most thrilling between the lines 74 00:04:21,520 --> 00:04:24,080 Speaker 1: fuel by gatoray I have ever been a part of. 75 00:04:24,160 --> 00:04:27,159 Speaker 1: My name is Gabe Henderson. I'm alongside Ben Lieber and 76 00:04:27,320 --> 00:04:30,280 Speaker 1: been thrilling is an understatement, I know. I started out 77 00:04:30,279 --> 00:04:33,080 Speaker 1: with that. How do you describe a team that's down 78 00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:35,840 Speaker 1: twenty three to ten with the minute and fifty left 79 00:04:35,839 --> 00:04:38,279 Speaker 1: and the third quarter that goes on to win thirty 80 00:04:38,279 --> 00:04:41,680 Speaker 1: three to thirty in overtime. Like, I don't know, I 81 00:04:41,720 --> 00:04:43,720 Speaker 1: don't know. I don't know what the crazy thing is. 82 00:04:43,760 --> 00:04:46,600 Speaker 1: Like we keep hearing koc talk about how this team 83 00:04:46,640 --> 00:04:49,400 Speaker 1: is resilient and whatever. Does anybody have a stronger word 84 00:04:49,440 --> 00:04:52,799 Speaker 1: for that, because I just don't This game was wild. 85 00:04:53,040 --> 00:04:55,600 Speaker 1: It was bananas. It was like, It's one of the 86 00:04:55,640 --> 00:04:59,320 Speaker 1: craziest emotional games that I've ever been a part of. 87 00:05:00,200 --> 00:05:03,400 Speaker 1: You know, I just got done interviewing coach head coach 88 00:05:03,520 --> 00:05:07,960 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell and is excited as he is, he's also 89 00:05:08,080 --> 00:05:13,560 Speaker 1: equally drained. Yeah, he looks emotionally drained. You know, he's 90 00:05:13,600 --> 00:05:17,159 Speaker 1: obviously personally had a long last week to ten days 91 00:05:17,160 --> 00:05:19,240 Speaker 1: with the birth of his fourth child. They go on 92 00:05:19,279 --> 00:05:21,480 Speaker 1: the road, they've got a lot of questions from the 93 00:05:21,560 --> 00:05:24,040 Speaker 1: national public about how good this team is. Is this 94 00:05:24,080 --> 00:05:27,320 Speaker 1: team for real? And they come in this stadium against 95 00:05:27,320 --> 00:05:30,800 Speaker 1: what everybody's saying is the Super Bowl contending champs, like 96 00:05:30,880 --> 00:05:32,800 Speaker 1: they should be in the Super Bowl and then win 97 00:05:32,839 --> 00:05:36,120 Speaker 1: the Super Bowl. And they've got, for all intensive purposes, 98 00:05:36,160 --> 00:05:39,040 Speaker 1: a healthy team and they go out and come from 99 00:05:39,040 --> 00:05:43,360 Speaker 1: behind and win like they did. Yeah, it's unbelievable, unbelievable. 100 00:05:43,560 --> 00:05:45,640 Speaker 1: I talked to a couple of the players in the 101 00:05:45,640 --> 00:05:48,360 Speaker 1: locker room, Andrew depaula Vikings long snapper or in general 102 00:05:48,640 --> 00:05:51,080 Speaker 1: in particular, and he said, I have no words, like 103 00:05:51,120 --> 00:05:53,920 Speaker 1: this is just a wow moment. And then Ryan Grigson, 104 00:05:53,960 --> 00:05:57,160 Speaker 1: assistant journeral manager from the Minnesota Vikings said, games like 105 00:05:57,320 --> 00:06:01,040 Speaker 1: this are what championship teams are built. What about this 106 00:06:01,160 --> 00:06:04,159 Speaker 1: game makes this viight Minnesota Vikings team a force to 107 00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:06,560 Speaker 1: be wreck with going forward because they can make plays 108 00:06:06,600 --> 00:06:09,120 Speaker 1: whenever they need to make plays. You know, they ran 109 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,040 Speaker 1: the ball only eight times in the first half. If 110 00:06:11,080 --> 00:06:13,360 Speaker 1: you watched the film of this Buffalo defense in the 111 00:06:13,400 --> 00:06:16,040 Speaker 1: last two weeks, they're averaging given up one hundred ninety 112 00:06:16,040 --> 00:06:18,400 Speaker 1: one yards on the ground. The Jets and the Packers 113 00:06:18,440 --> 00:06:20,760 Speaker 1: just put it on them. So they go in this 114 00:06:20,800 --> 00:06:22,880 Speaker 1: game the first half and run the ball eight times 115 00:06:22,960 --> 00:06:25,320 Speaker 1: in the first half and You're like, what are they doing? 116 00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,719 Speaker 1: They did? They not? Like watch the film? Well, they tried, right, 117 00:06:29,120 --> 00:06:31,200 Speaker 1: there were some opportunities there. You know, there was a 118 00:06:31,440 --> 00:06:33,800 Speaker 1: you know, a botched toss to Dalvin. They had a 119 00:06:33,800 --> 00:06:36,599 Speaker 1: couple of negative yards. Hats off to the Buffalo defense 120 00:06:36,880 --> 00:06:39,880 Speaker 1: for stepping up and stopping the run. We didn't back down, 121 00:06:40,200 --> 00:06:42,200 Speaker 1: we didn't get away from the run game. We stuck 122 00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:44,760 Speaker 1: to it. Dalvin goes off and has a career long 123 00:06:45,040 --> 00:06:48,240 Speaker 1: eighty one yard touchdown run and then he had some 124 00:06:48,360 --> 00:06:50,960 Speaker 1: huge chunk yards finished. It was one hundred and nineteen 125 00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:55,360 Speaker 1: yards on the ground. They just find ways to compensate 126 00:06:55,560 --> 00:06:58,599 Speaker 1: when things aren't going well or when the game plan 127 00:06:58,720 --> 00:07:01,279 Speaker 1: isn't going well, they stick to stick with the run game. 128 00:07:01,440 --> 00:07:05,560 Speaker 1: Then you get Justin Jefferson making unbelievable catches from unbelievable 129 00:07:05,600 --> 00:07:09,440 Speaker 1: by Kirk Cousins defense. We're not very good in the 130 00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:11,520 Speaker 1: red zone. Yeah, we give up a lot of touchdowns 131 00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:15,040 Speaker 1: in the red zone. Were three three or five, three 132 00:07:15,120 --> 00:07:17,760 Speaker 1: or six in this game with two interceptions? So would 133 00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,760 Speaker 1: we need to make plays? We're making plays and they 134 00:07:20,760 --> 00:07:23,400 Speaker 1: make a sweat while they're doing it. But as long 135 00:07:23,440 --> 00:07:25,720 Speaker 1: as that turns into a win, I'm sure all Minnesota 136 00:07:25,800 --> 00:07:28,080 Speaker 1: Vikings fans are happy about that. My paper with my 137 00:07:28,120 --> 00:07:30,400 Speaker 1: notes should just flew away over to my right. But 138 00:07:30,440 --> 00:07:32,600 Speaker 1: at the same time, when you look at the stats, 139 00:07:32,680 --> 00:07:35,120 Speaker 1: none of the stats really matter. Outside of this Minnesota 140 00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,840 Speaker 1: Vikings team one, and they found ways to win. Justin Jefferson, 141 00:07:38,880 --> 00:07:41,119 Speaker 1: you just talked about to him ten receptions, one hundred 142 00:07:41,160 --> 00:07:44,480 Speaker 1: and ninety three receiving yards, most one hundred yard games 143 00:07:44,520 --> 00:07:46,760 Speaker 1: by any player in NFO history in the first three 144 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:49,800 Speaker 1: seasons of his career. This was by far Justin Jefferson's 145 00:07:49,840 --> 00:07:52,280 Speaker 1: best game. How did he become? What did he do 146 00:07:52,320 --> 00:07:54,680 Speaker 1: this game that made him so much more dynamic than 147 00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:56,960 Speaker 1: the last twenty one hundred yard receiving games. I think 148 00:07:56,960 --> 00:07:59,440 Speaker 1: the trust factor that is being built up so high 149 00:07:59,480 --> 00:08:02,160 Speaker 1: with he and Kirk that there's a there's multiple throws 150 00:08:02,160 --> 00:08:03,880 Speaker 1: and maybe you can't see it from the TV copy, 151 00:08:03,920 --> 00:08:06,960 Speaker 1: but there's multiple throws where Kirk is just he's thrown 152 00:08:06,960 --> 00:08:09,320 Speaker 1: it before he's out of the break, he turns around 153 00:08:09,400 --> 00:08:11,720 Speaker 1: the balls in the air, he may be well covered 154 00:08:11,840 --> 00:08:14,440 Speaker 1: or even double covered, he elevates and makes a play. 155 00:08:14,800 --> 00:08:16,840 Speaker 1: So I just think that there's so much trust and 156 00:08:16,880 --> 00:08:18,840 Speaker 1: confidence that Kirk's like, all right, if I'm gonna get 157 00:08:18,840 --> 00:08:20,920 Speaker 1: a little bit of pressure, or if it's a third 158 00:08:20,920 --> 00:08:22,160 Speaker 1: and got to have it, or a play where we 159 00:08:22,200 --> 00:08:24,080 Speaker 1: got to have it, I know Justin's gonna be there 160 00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:25,520 Speaker 1: to make the play. So I'm just gonna put it 161 00:08:25,600 --> 00:08:27,080 Speaker 1: up to him and see if he can go out 162 00:08:27,120 --> 00:08:29,000 Speaker 1: to make the play. And then today it was he 163 00:08:29,080 --> 00:08:31,480 Speaker 1: was ridiculous. I mean he made every catch. I may 164 00:08:31,520 --> 00:08:33,160 Speaker 1: be too far ahead of myself, but I hear a 165 00:08:33,200 --> 00:08:38,199 Speaker 1: lot of people talk about the Alan, you know, MVP chats. 166 00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:40,600 Speaker 1: You know, everybody's saying he should be the MVP. At 167 00:08:40,640 --> 00:08:42,800 Speaker 1: least had six turnovers in his last three games. Yeah, 168 00:08:42,800 --> 00:08:44,640 Speaker 1: I think you look at Kirk Cousins finding ways to win. 169 00:08:44,679 --> 00:08:47,560 Speaker 1: You got Justin Jefferson who's just having big games. Both 170 00:08:47,559 --> 00:08:49,360 Speaker 1: of those two guys have to be making a case, 171 00:08:49,360 --> 00:08:51,880 Speaker 1: a strong case for MVP. Would you agree, No, I 172 00:08:51,920 --> 00:08:55,160 Speaker 1: would definitely agree because you look at MVPs are not 173 00:08:55,320 --> 00:08:58,440 Speaker 1: always about stats. Yeah, you know, everybody wants to look 174 00:08:58,440 --> 00:09:00,000 Speaker 1: at like who has the most yards, he has much 175 00:09:00,120 --> 00:09:03,679 Speaker 1: most touchdowns. It's critical making plays, it's difference making plays. 176 00:09:03,720 --> 00:09:08,280 Speaker 1: It's clutch plays. Josh Allen today was not clutch. He 177 00:09:08,400 --> 00:09:10,280 Speaker 1: was clutch on the ground when he needed to run 178 00:09:10,320 --> 00:09:12,280 Speaker 1: the football. And I'm not I don't want to take 179 00:09:12,280 --> 00:09:14,640 Speaker 1: anything away. He's an impressive player. He's one of the 180 00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:17,320 Speaker 1: best players in the league. But you're up against your 181 00:09:17,320 --> 00:09:19,200 Speaker 1: own end zone, and all you've got to do is 182 00:09:19,240 --> 00:09:21,319 Speaker 1: just get the ball out and advance it a little bit. 183 00:09:21,720 --> 00:09:24,520 Speaker 1: He fumbles the football, he almost loses the game for 184 00:09:24,520 --> 00:09:26,760 Speaker 1: those guys, and then he comes down they tie the 185 00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:29,959 Speaker 1: game up. But he throws a red zone interception to 186 00:09:30,040 --> 00:09:32,360 Speaker 1: Patrick Peterson early in the game. He throws another one 187 00:09:32,600 --> 00:09:34,400 Speaker 1: when they have to when they have to go down 188 00:09:34,440 --> 00:09:36,640 Speaker 1: and try to win the game. So you look at 189 00:09:36,640 --> 00:09:40,000 Speaker 1: the difference making plays, the clutch plays. That's what MVPs do. 190 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:42,800 Speaker 1: It's not about padding stats. It doesn't have to be sexy. 191 00:09:43,160 --> 00:09:45,320 Speaker 1: I think I think you know if of the two 192 00:09:45,360 --> 00:09:47,880 Speaker 1: players on our team, justin Jefferson has to be in 193 00:09:47,920 --> 00:09:51,240 Speaker 1: that contention for MVP. Speaking of the number two, Patrick Peterson, 194 00:09:51,559 --> 00:09:54,199 Speaker 1: two interceptions today, Like you just said, he's making a 195 00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:56,240 Speaker 1: case for Hall of Fame at this point. How would 196 00:09:56,240 --> 00:09:59,000 Speaker 1: you just assess just his play along with the defense 197 00:09:59,080 --> 00:10:03,120 Speaker 1: that that hell, this Buffalo Bill's team to three points 198 00:10:03,200 --> 00:10:06,160 Speaker 1: in the last two quarters. Well, obviously the defense stepped up. 199 00:10:06,160 --> 00:10:07,920 Speaker 1: We didn't get a lot of pressure in the first half, 200 00:10:09,040 --> 00:10:11,280 Speaker 1: almost zero pressure. We had no sacks. All the four 201 00:10:11,280 --> 00:10:14,319 Speaker 1: sacks came in the second half. Again, Josh Allen used 202 00:10:14,320 --> 00:10:17,160 Speaker 1: his legs. He's able, he's a tremendous athlete. He's able 203 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:19,120 Speaker 1: to get out of trouble. But we found ways to 204 00:10:19,160 --> 00:10:21,960 Speaker 1: get to their edges of the offensive line, and we 205 00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:24,040 Speaker 1: made plays when we had to make plays. And then 206 00:10:24,120 --> 00:10:28,080 Speaker 1: we made Josh Allen that offense have to press going 207 00:10:28,120 --> 00:10:30,760 Speaker 1: into this game. If you watch their film, they get 208 00:10:30,840 --> 00:10:33,600 Speaker 1: very impatient. He gets very impatient. He wants to make 209 00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:36,320 Speaker 1: the play. They're all about just quick, dink and dunk, 210 00:10:36,400 --> 00:10:39,160 Speaker 1: West Coast style. But then he gets impatient. He wants 211 00:10:39,160 --> 00:10:41,000 Speaker 1: to force the ball down the field. That's when you 212 00:10:41,040 --> 00:10:43,839 Speaker 1: have to make the plays. Patrick Peterson did justine, why 213 00:10:43,840 --> 00:10:46,280 Speaker 1: do you think he gets impatient in those moments, Because 214 00:10:46,320 --> 00:10:48,319 Speaker 1: I think he's just he's used to think always just 215 00:10:48,480 --> 00:10:51,200 Speaker 1: making big plays, you know. I think he gets all 216 00:10:51,240 --> 00:10:54,360 Speaker 1: this adulation for making the big plays. He's got this, 217 00:10:54,520 --> 00:10:56,880 Speaker 1: you know, sixty five seventy yard cannon of an arm 218 00:10:56,920 --> 00:10:58,600 Speaker 1: that he can get the ball down the field. I 219 00:10:58,640 --> 00:11:01,480 Speaker 1: think that they just they they get really impatient because 220 00:11:01,480 --> 00:11:03,840 Speaker 1: he wants to just be that guy. He wants to 221 00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:07,280 Speaker 1: be the superstar that's making plays. Um. Their offense is 222 00:11:07,280 --> 00:11:10,280 Speaker 1: sort of predicated on some of those those big explosive plays. 223 00:11:10,520 --> 00:11:12,480 Speaker 1: He knows that's their their identity and he wants to 224 00:11:12,480 --> 00:11:14,240 Speaker 1: hold true to it. Yeah. And then this Buffalo Bills 225 00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:16,520 Speaker 1: team are a really good team. They're going to continue 226 00:11:16,559 --> 00:11:19,319 Speaker 1: to win games. And I'm so happy that the Vikings 227 00:11:19,320 --> 00:11:22,120 Speaker 1: got this win. Going into this game, everyone was talking 228 00:11:22,120 --> 00:11:23,679 Speaker 1: about Wall. This is going to be the third time 229 00:11:23,720 --> 00:11:25,840 Speaker 1: in four weeks the Vikings to face the backup quarterback. 230 00:11:25,960 --> 00:11:28,920 Speaker 1: The Vikings prepared for Josh Allen all week and the 231 00:11:28,960 --> 00:11:30,840 Speaker 1: fact that they got what they wanted and they got 232 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:32,800 Speaker 1: to win. That says a lot about the resilience. I 233 00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:34,160 Speaker 1: know you don't like that order at this point because 234 00:11:34,160 --> 00:11:36,920 Speaker 1: it's not strong. Yeah, it's just I don't know. I'm 235 00:11:36,920 --> 00:11:38,400 Speaker 1: not smart enough to figure out a better word for that. 236 00:11:39,920 --> 00:11:42,120 Speaker 1: They won. Yeah, that's all that matter. But we got 237 00:11:42,120 --> 00:11:44,480 Speaker 1: to talk about the next two games. This game tonight 238 00:11:44,559 --> 00:11:46,600 Speaker 1: marks the first game in eleven days for this Minnesota 239 00:11:46,679 --> 00:11:50,040 Speaker 1: Vikings team. Tough, tough stretch. Dallas Cowboys up next. As 240 00:11:50,040 --> 00:11:52,600 Speaker 1: we record this, they're playing playing the Green Bay Packers. 241 00:11:52,760 --> 00:11:54,559 Speaker 1: What do we need to see from this Minnesota Vikings 242 00:11:54,559 --> 00:11:58,400 Speaker 1: team to continue this momentum? Well, I do think that 243 00:11:58,400 --> 00:11:59,960 Speaker 1: we need to establish the run a little bit more, 244 00:12:00,240 --> 00:12:03,360 Speaker 1: a little earlier, to find a little bit more balanced. 245 00:12:03,559 --> 00:12:07,520 Speaker 1: Um gosh, I would really like to see better red 246 00:12:07,640 --> 00:12:10,719 Speaker 1: zone defense, even though even though we got some big plays, Um, 247 00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:13,280 Speaker 1: we have to be better about not letting the teams 248 00:12:13,360 --> 00:12:16,160 Speaker 1: down there too. Sometimes it looks too easy for the 249 00:12:16,240 --> 00:12:18,080 Speaker 1: for the teams that's to pick up some chunk yardage. 250 00:12:18,280 --> 00:12:20,240 Speaker 1: Next thing you know, they're right down the red zone 251 00:12:20,360 --> 00:12:22,880 Speaker 1: and then it's at least at minimum a three point opportunity. 252 00:12:23,160 --> 00:12:25,240 Speaker 1: So I'd like to shore up some of the defense 253 00:12:25,240 --> 00:12:27,800 Speaker 1: in the middle of the field, uh, you know, force 254 00:12:27,880 --> 00:12:30,760 Speaker 1: a few more punts, um, and then offensively, just find 255 00:12:30,760 --> 00:12:32,400 Speaker 1: a little bit more balance. I don't think we should 256 00:12:32,400 --> 00:12:36,520 Speaker 1: always realize on justin making some incredible plays, you know. Um, 257 00:12:37,040 --> 00:12:39,200 Speaker 1: So I think that's really it for me. It's it's 258 00:12:39,679 --> 00:12:41,760 Speaker 1: not a lot to nitpick at. I mean, we've got 259 00:12:41,800 --> 00:12:44,560 Speaker 1: a lot of weapons, we're winning games. Um, you know, 260 00:12:44,640 --> 00:12:47,240 Speaker 1: just make it a little smoother and a little more consistent. 261 00:12:47,280 --> 00:12:49,840 Speaker 1: We talked all week can the Vikings play up to 262 00:12:49,880 --> 00:12:52,840 Speaker 1: the level of competition one? And two? Can they finally 263 00:12:52,880 --> 00:12:55,520 Speaker 1: put together a complete game? Today was the closest they 264 00:12:55,520 --> 00:12:58,080 Speaker 1: put together a complete game, and they still have a 265 00:12:58,080 --> 00:13:00,560 Speaker 1: lot of meat on the bone. Ben, I'm excited about 266 00:13:00,600 --> 00:13:03,080 Speaker 1: these next two games, two games in four days, starting 267 00:13:03,120 --> 00:13:06,000 Speaker 1: with the Dallas Cowboys and next man, we're eight and 268 00:13:06,080 --> 00:13:08,800 Speaker 1: one or eight one, and we're having fun. Eight and one, 269 00:13:08,880 --> 00:13:11,280 Speaker 1: having fun. Answered like you you've been talking about, answered 270 00:13:11,280 --> 00:13:14,320 Speaker 1: a lot of questions this team. He's a legit football team. 271 00:13:14,360 --> 00:13:17,120 Speaker 1: This is not a team that has been opportunistic because 272 00:13:17,120 --> 00:13:20,199 Speaker 1: of other teams injuries or other team's mishaps. This is 273 00:13:20,200 --> 00:13:22,560 Speaker 1: a legit football team. They should feel proud of that. 274 00:13:22,920 --> 00:13:25,720 Speaker 1: And you know, let's keep rolling. Hey, Vikings Samas, We've 275 00:13:25,720 --> 00:13:28,160 Speaker 1: got two promtime games in a row, at home with 276 00:13:28,200 --> 00:13:30,760 Speaker 1: the Dallas Cowboys next week at three twenty five and 277 00:13:30,840 --> 00:13:35,240 Speaker 1: then Thursday night football on Thanksgiving. Pack that dome, pack 278 00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:37,720 Speaker 1: that house at us Bank Stadium. We're looking forward to 279 00:13:37,720 --> 00:13:40,600 Speaker 1: getting back there and getting another win for Ben Lieber, 280 00:13:41,280 --> 00:13:44,040 Speaker 1: Ryan O'Neill, Christian Rangel. My name is Gabe Henderson. Thank 281 00:13:44,080 --> 00:13:46,960 Speaker 1: you guys again for tuning into another winning the seventh 282 00:13:46,960 --> 00:13:49,840 Speaker 1: straight winning edition of Between the Lines fuel by Gatorade. 283 00:13:50,240 --> 00:13:53,720 Speaker 1: Kevin O'Connell faced his first overtime today, the first overtime 284 00:13:53,800 --> 00:13:56,560 Speaker 1: of his career. His record in OT is want to 285 00:13:56,600 --> 00:13:59,480 Speaker 1: know Sean McDermott, coach of the Buffalo Bills, is now 286 00:13:59,480 --> 00:14:02,959 Speaker 1: one and three over six years. And you know what, 287 00:14:03,480 --> 00:14:05,280 Speaker 1: one of the many things that I love that you 288 00:14:05,360 --> 00:14:08,480 Speaker 1: kept saying during the broadcast on KFA and the Vikings 289 00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:12,679 Speaker 1: Radio Network is the longer the game got, the stronger 290 00:14:12,800 --> 00:14:16,440 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook and Justin Jefferson became. And we've seen it 291 00:14:16,600 --> 00:14:19,640 Speaker 1: game after game after game, no matter who you're playing, 292 00:14:20,320 --> 00:14:24,000 Speaker 1: is the adversary seems to be getting tired late. Like 293 00:14:24,080 --> 00:14:27,240 Speaker 1: even Dron Payne and Jonathan Allen watching that game back. 294 00:14:27,280 --> 00:14:29,840 Speaker 1: They dominated the game, but then in the final five 295 00:14:29,880 --> 00:14:32,040 Speaker 1: minutes a lot of arm tackles because they were tired. 296 00:14:32,480 --> 00:14:36,400 Speaker 1: The conditioning of this team and how they get stronger 297 00:14:36,520 --> 00:14:39,240 Speaker 1: the longer the game goes. It's a masterpiece. And you 298 00:14:39,280 --> 00:14:42,000 Speaker 1: know what I think about this too. You you, if 299 00:14:42,040 --> 00:14:43,640 Speaker 1: you're a player, we're you know, we're up here in 300 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:46,680 Speaker 1: the booth. And to watch Dalvin Cook do what he 301 00:14:46,760 --> 00:14:49,000 Speaker 1: did at the end of the game, and the fire 302 00:14:49,320 --> 00:14:52,840 Speaker 1: and everything that he brought it had to elevate his teammates. 303 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:57,120 Speaker 1: For Justin Jefferson to make that catch in double coverage 304 00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,240 Speaker 1: that elevates everybody on this sideline so the That's Arena game. 305 00:15:02,320 --> 00:15:05,040 Speaker 1: Stefan digs the former Vike had a forty two inch 306 00:15:05,200 --> 00:15:09,080 Speaker 1: vertical his back to the end zone. He jumped and 307 00:15:09,200 --> 00:15:12,040 Speaker 1: made a one handed, right handed catch. That is as 308 00:15:12,040 --> 00:15:14,720 Speaker 1: good as you're ever gonna see until Justin did what 309 00:15:14,800 --> 00:15:18,000 Speaker 1: he did. No, you're you're absolutely right, it was. It 310 00:15:18,040 --> 00:15:20,360 Speaker 1: was a great day for the wide receivers in that respect, 311 00:15:20,400 --> 00:15:24,080 Speaker 1: both both sides. But you know, Paul, this this was 312 00:15:24,120 --> 00:15:27,280 Speaker 1: a this was a playoff caliber football game. This is 313 00:15:27,520 --> 00:15:31,160 Speaker 1: this and you know, playoff caliber type of the game, 314 00:15:31,880 --> 00:15:35,280 Speaker 1: back and forth, down to the wire, the whole thing, um, 315 00:15:35,520 --> 00:15:37,720 Speaker 1: and I got a game. I really got to give 316 00:15:37,760 --> 00:15:41,160 Speaker 1: a lot of credit to the defense because initially they 317 00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,000 Speaker 1: looked like they were on their heels a little bit, 318 00:15:43,000 --> 00:15:46,320 Speaker 1: like they weren't ready to play this game, especially in 319 00:15:46,400 --> 00:15:49,680 Speaker 1: those first couple drives. And they turned it around and 320 00:15:49,720 --> 00:15:54,120 Speaker 1: they got the ball back. They got four again four 321 00:15:54,320 --> 00:15:58,440 Speaker 1: turnovers on this Buffalo Bills team, and two were interceptions 322 00:15:58,440 --> 00:16:01,200 Speaker 1: at six, you know, for for our guy outen in 323 00:16:01,240 --> 00:16:03,880 Speaker 1: the last you know two you know what actually six 324 00:16:03,960 --> 00:16:08,680 Speaker 1: quarters nine or what yeah? Eight quarters? Yeah, ten. But 325 00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:11,760 Speaker 1: to get the ball back, score a touchdown on defense 326 00:16:11,760 --> 00:16:14,760 Speaker 1: and everything else it's an incredible effort. Kevin O'Connell, head 327 00:16:14,760 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 1: coach of the Minnesota Vikings, again, want to know and overtime, 328 00:16:17,920 --> 00:16:20,520 Speaker 1: here's what KOC had to say after the game. All Right, 329 00:16:21,120 --> 00:16:26,160 Speaker 1: you know, pretty unbelievable football game to be a part of. 330 00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:30,280 Speaker 1: There's a lot of moments in that game where I'm 331 00:16:30,320 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 1: trying to think back in process and just the critical, 332 00:16:35,040 --> 00:16:39,720 Speaker 1: critical plays that our guys made offensively defensively wasn't always 333 00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,560 Speaker 1: perfect for us, but our team's ability I think over 334 00:16:44,600 --> 00:16:47,720 Speaker 1: these last few weeks to win football games, maybe not 335 00:16:47,800 --> 00:16:51,080 Speaker 1: in circumstances like this, but I think that allowed us 336 00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:53,600 Speaker 1: to have the confidence we needed to just try to 337 00:16:53,640 --> 00:16:56,080 Speaker 1: make one more play and keep that football game alive 338 00:16:56,120 --> 00:16:58,280 Speaker 1: in any way, shape or form we had to do. 339 00:16:58,520 --> 00:17:01,680 Speaker 1: And it's a confident locker room in there. Um, there's 340 00:17:01,680 --> 00:17:03,640 Speaker 1: a lot of there's a lot of games out in 341 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:05,400 Speaker 1: front of this team where we're gonna rely on these 342 00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:08,400 Speaker 1: moments to help us. I'm so dang proud of this team. 343 00:17:08,440 --> 00:17:10,320 Speaker 1: I love this team, the way they battle, the way 344 00:17:10,359 --> 00:17:13,280 Speaker 1: they come together, and uh, you know, it was a 345 00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:15,600 Speaker 1: it was a really big day for us, kind of 346 00:17:15,600 --> 00:17:17,480 Speaker 1: confirming who we kind of think we are, as a 347 00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:20,359 Speaker 1: football team, a lot to improve on, like I said, 348 00:17:20,440 --> 00:17:22,960 Speaker 1: but this is a huge win for us here against 349 00:17:22,960 --> 00:17:24,680 Speaker 1: a really good football team. Just to give you guys 350 00:17:24,680 --> 00:17:27,560 Speaker 1: an update to Caleb Evans and Christian Deary. Saw did 351 00:17:27,680 --> 00:17:30,639 Speaker 1: xit the game with concussions and then Ze was just 352 00:17:30,720 --> 00:17:34,800 Speaker 1: kind of dealing with a knee contusion there that they 353 00:17:34,920 --> 00:17:36,920 Speaker 1: kind of he was just playing hard all day long 354 00:17:36,960 --> 00:17:40,240 Speaker 1: and finished the game. But we'll see how he feels tomorrow. 355 00:17:41,240 --> 00:17:43,240 Speaker 1: Open it up to you, guys. Just talk about the 356 00:17:43,320 --> 00:17:45,760 Speaker 1: play or the series of events at the goal line. 357 00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:49,240 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins has stopped and then Kendricks gets the touchdown. 358 00:17:49,240 --> 00:17:51,199 Speaker 1: I mean, what are your range of emotions and what 359 00:17:51,280 --> 00:17:55,200 Speaker 1: did you see in those plays? Um? The range would 360 00:17:55,200 --> 00:17:57,320 Speaker 1: be about as much of a possible range as you 361 00:17:57,320 --> 00:18:02,320 Speaker 1: could have in that moment. It takes a lot to 362 00:18:02,720 --> 00:18:04,480 Speaker 1: even get down there in that moment, and then to 363 00:18:04,560 --> 00:18:08,080 Speaker 1: not get in was unfortunate, and we got to go 364 00:18:08,200 --> 00:18:10,960 Speaker 1: take a look at kind of what transpired in that moment. 365 00:18:11,720 --> 00:18:14,160 Speaker 1: But we work on that scenario. When you're so tight, 366 00:18:15,000 --> 00:18:16,679 Speaker 1: when you're so far down there, that's one of the 367 00:18:16,680 --> 00:18:19,800 Speaker 1: reasons why you get that group ready, because they can't 368 00:18:19,800 --> 00:18:21,920 Speaker 1: take any in that moment, I had one time out left, 369 00:18:21,960 --> 00:18:23,159 Speaker 1: so I was going to try to force them to 370 00:18:23,160 --> 00:18:25,719 Speaker 1: do it twice if we could. And you just know 371 00:18:25,800 --> 00:18:29,800 Speaker 1: the critical sometimes it seems simple the quarterback center exchange 372 00:18:30,400 --> 00:18:32,360 Speaker 1: the ability to try to get that ball out from 373 00:18:32,359 --> 00:18:35,000 Speaker 1: your one inch line. We work on that, We talk 374 00:18:35,080 --> 00:18:37,600 Speaker 1: about it, and our guys not only being u you know, 375 00:18:37,640 --> 00:18:39,760 Speaker 1: a legal play to kind of knife in there and 376 00:18:39,760 --> 00:18:42,359 Speaker 1: get the ball, but Eric Kendricks ending up with it, 377 00:18:42,400 --> 00:18:46,560 Speaker 1: and that was a huge, huge momentum, so hopefully thinking 378 00:18:46,600 --> 00:18:48,520 Speaker 1: we were putting that game away, but then just like 379 00:18:48,560 --> 00:18:51,080 Speaker 1: great teams do, they battled right back and we just 380 00:18:51,160 --> 00:18:53,320 Speaker 1: kind of continue to have to trade those blows and 381 00:18:53,440 --> 00:18:56,360 Speaker 1: body blows, you know, haymakers and and and just try 382 00:18:56,400 --> 00:18:58,159 Speaker 1: to be ready for the next snap and and just 383 00:18:58,200 --> 00:18:59,920 Speaker 1: as long as they would allow us to play today, 384 00:19:00,280 --> 00:19:02,439 Speaker 1: be ready to continue playing. And that's why I'm so 385 00:19:02,480 --> 00:19:05,520 Speaker 1: proud of this team and what we were able to accomplish. 386 00:19:05,800 --> 00:19:08,679 Speaker 1: How many times have you worked on that to the 387 00:19:08,720 --> 00:19:11,399 Speaker 1: course of the year, that it goes back at different 388 00:19:11,400 --> 00:19:14,920 Speaker 1: times training camp and different scenarios when it comes up, 389 00:19:15,480 --> 00:19:17,440 Speaker 1: you know, you just talk about it a lot. There's 390 00:19:17,480 --> 00:19:20,520 Speaker 1: been some clips of kind of similar situations around the 391 00:19:20,600 --> 00:19:22,360 Speaker 1: league this year. How you want to make sure you're 392 00:19:22,359 --> 00:19:24,760 Speaker 1: ready for it what we call it in that mode, 393 00:19:24,760 --> 00:19:27,399 Speaker 1: just to make sure we're aligned right to possibly have 394 00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:29,520 Speaker 1: the best chance to impact the play and maybe get 395 00:19:29,520 --> 00:19:31,119 Speaker 1: the ball if it does end up on the ground. 396 00:19:31,880 --> 00:19:37,640 Speaker 1: Compliments to those guys were executing it. Jefferson's cash where 397 00:19:37,640 --> 00:19:42,760 Speaker 1: they stole the ball, the amatum, what was the DND 398 00:19:42,920 --> 00:19:47,240 Speaker 1: right there about fourth and eighteen. Yeah, I just I 399 00:19:47,320 --> 00:19:50,720 Speaker 1: just remember, you know, my dialogue, I call it dialogue. 400 00:19:50,720 --> 00:19:52,560 Speaker 1: He can't talk back to me, but my words into 401 00:19:52,640 --> 00:19:55,360 Speaker 1: Kirk what we're really looking for on that play. There's 402 00:19:55,400 --> 00:19:57,040 Speaker 1: not a lot of scheme that you can go find 403 00:19:57,080 --> 00:19:59,719 Speaker 1: in that moment. It was about a player and our 404 00:19:59,760 --> 00:20:02,720 Speaker 1: core terback and the two of them behind good protection, 405 00:20:02,760 --> 00:20:05,160 Speaker 1: and I gotta have a moment trying to just give 406 00:20:05,240 --> 00:20:06,840 Speaker 1: him a chance to make a play. And it happened 407 00:20:06,880 --> 00:20:08,800 Speaker 1: right in front of me, one of the more remarkable 408 00:20:08,840 --> 00:20:12,280 Speaker 1: catches I've ever seen. Um And uh, you know, he's 409 00:20:12,359 --> 00:20:15,359 Speaker 1: such a special, special player, and I'm just really proud 410 00:20:15,400 --> 00:20:17,720 Speaker 1: of the way Justin's battled all season long against a 411 00:20:17,720 --> 00:20:19,800 Speaker 1: lot of different looks that a lot of different coverages. 412 00:20:20,320 --> 00:20:22,119 Speaker 1: But to show up time and time again when we 413 00:20:22,160 --> 00:20:25,520 Speaker 1: needed him today. Really really lucky to have Justin and 414 00:20:26,480 --> 00:20:28,399 Speaker 1: the plays he made for us today. The cross of 415 00:20:28,440 --> 00:20:30,879 Speaker 1: the Kirk seems to be developing and brought on a 416 00:20:30,920 --> 00:20:33,760 Speaker 1: contested situations like that. Is that I mean, is there 417 00:20:33,760 --> 00:20:36,120 Speaker 1: a line to that or is it just hate back 418 00:20:36,160 --> 00:20:38,520 Speaker 1: of the catches can give him camp. I think there 419 00:20:38,640 --> 00:20:41,760 Speaker 1: is a line because hopefully we can do a good 420 00:20:41,800 --> 00:20:44,280 Speaker 1: job with our scheme that if if it's that kind 421 00:20:44,280 --> 00:20:47,159 Speaker 1: of coverage to Justin, maybe there's some other guys. I 422 00:20:47,160 --> 00:20:48,679 Speaker 1: thought we had a chance early on in the game 423 00:20:48,720 --> 00:20:50,760 Speaker 1: at kJ when Justin did a good job kind of 424 00:20:50,800 --> 00:20:53,600 Speaker 1: taking some coverage with him and ended up turning it 425 00:20:53,680 --> 00:20:56,040 Speaker 1: over on that one. But there were some other plays 426 00:20:56,040 --> 00:20:58,040 Speaker 1: in the game where I just think Kirk's ability to 427 00:20:58,080 --> 00:21:00,439 Speaker 1: find TJ on a fourth down, nobody over remember that 428 00:21:00,520 --> 00:21:02,920 Speaker 1: play when it's all said and done today, But there's 429 00:21:02,920 --> 00:21:04,760 Speaker 1: just I think we'll all go back and look at 430 00:21:04,760 --> 00:21:07,399 Speaker 1: this one and and really need to kind of unpack 431 00:21:07,480 --> 00:21:10,760 Speaker 1: quite a bit. So, like I said, I'm still kind 432 00:21:10,760 --> 00:21:14,040 Speaker 1: of processing it all. I just know that it's it's 433 00:21:14,040 --> 00:21:16,560 Speaker 1: a good feeling as a head coach to know that 434 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:19,320 Speaker 1: you can be confident that your guys are going to 435 00:21:19,359 --> 00:21:22,879 Speaker 1: continue playing and battle and playing good football, overcoming the 436 00:21:22,880 --> 00:21:25,240 Speaker 1: snaps where we don't play good football and understand we're 437 00:21:25,240 --> 00:21:27,520 Speaker 1: in this together. One snap is all we need to 438 00:21:27,520 --> 00:21:29,679 Speaker 1: continue a football game until they tell us there's no 439 00:21:29,720 --> 00:21:31,760 Speaker 1: more time on the clock. What I'm saying about Pat 440 00:21:31,800 --> 00:21:35,240 Speaker 1: Pete's game clinching interception and just the way it keeps 441 00:21:35,280 --> 00:21:37,720 Speaker 1: stepping up, you know, when some people out there might 442 00:21:37,720 --> 00:21:40,600 Speaker 1: think he's at an advanced stage. Yeah, I could just 443 00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:43,320 Speaker 1: remember conversations I've had with Pat Dayton back to when 444 00:21:43,359 --> 00:21:47,159 Speaker 1: I first got here and we were able to, you know, 445 00:21:47,200 --> 00:21:50,440 Speaker 1: make sure we had him for this year leading our defense, 446 00:21:50,480 --> 00:21:52,919 Speaker 1: and I just have so much respect for the player, 447 00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:57,199 Speaker 1: the leader, everything he means to our team. But it 448 00:21:57,280 --> 00:21:59,240 Speaker 1: goes so much further than that, because he's playing dang 449 00:21:59,280 --> 00:22:03,120 Speaker 1: good football right now and he's consistently done that. Challenges 450 00:22:03,200 --> 00:22:06,480 Speaker 1: himself every single week to be the most prepared lead 451 00:22:06,520 --> 00:22:08,919 Speaker 1: the charge on that defensive side along with Ek and 452 00:22:09,000 --> 00:22:11,600 Speaker 1: Zee and Neil and Harry and some of our other guys, 453 00:22:11,640 --> 00:22:14,159 Speaker 1: and he set a standard for helping us become an 454 00:22:14,200 --> 00:22:16,000 Speaker 1: eight and one football team. When I think of our 455 00:22:16,000 --> 00:22:19,480 Speaker 1: team this year, I think of Patrick Peterson being a 456 00:22:19,520 --> 00:22:22,000 Speaker 1: major reason why we're eight and one, and today was 457 00:22:22,000 --> 00:22:27,240 Speaker 1: just another example. That's emotions after game. Yeah, I honestly 458 00:22:27,240 --> 00:22:29,720 Speaker 1: they were. You know, I felt I felt bad even 459 00:22:29,720 --> 00:22:31,919 Speaker 1: breaking up, you know how how much fun they were 460 00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:34,080 Speaker 1: having just to give my little poach game speel. But 461 00:22:34,920 --> 00:22:36,560 Speaker 1: there were some good game balls to give out and 462 00:22:36,600 --> 00:22:39,359 Speaker 1: just letting these guys know how proud I am of them, 463 00:22:39,440 --> 00:22:42,679 Speaker 1: and uh, you know, stuff like this doesn't happen too often. 464 00:22:42,720 --> 00:22:45,359 Speaker 1: And like I said, when we unpack this one and really, 465 00:22:45,560 --> 00:22:48,159 Speaker 1: you know, really figured out what just happened. Um, I 466 00:22:48,160 --> 00:22:49,960 Speaker 1: think there'll be a lot of learnable moments, but there 467 00:22:50,000 --> 00:22:52,240 Speaker 1: will be a lot of moments we'll think back and 468 00:22:52,280 --> 00:22:54,600 Speaker 1: shake our heads a little bit. Right before halftime, it 469 00:22:54,680 --> 00:22:56,879 Speaker 1: looked like you and Brian O'Neill kind of like to 470 00:22:56,920 --> 00:22:59,480 Speaker 1: clear your arms around each other. I don't know if 471 00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:01,720 Speaker 1: you remember that or what was said there. I just 472 00:23:01,800 --> 00:23:04,800 Speaker 1: wonder what that moment. Yeah, it goes back to the 473 00:23:05,200 --> 00:23:08,480 Speaker 1: kind of third and two scenario, fourth and two scenario 474 00:23:08,640 --> 00:23:11,159 Speaker 1: where I just wanted them to know I felt good 475 00:23:11,200 --> 00:23:13,280 Speaker 1: about those plays, but I also feel good about running 476 00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:16,040 Speaker 1: the football behind those guys, and I think it's important 477 00:23:16,040 --> 00:23:19,439 Speaker 1: for those guys in those moments to know that, you know, 478 00:23:19,600 --> 00:23:22,240 Speaker 1: I'm not always going to be perfect, and I certainly 479 00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:24,720 Speaker 1: try to call the best possible plays in certain scenarios, 480 00:23:24,760 --> 00:23:27,960 Speaker 1: but I'm incredibly close with Brian, So I think I 481 00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:29,560 Speaker 1: just kind of caught him as we were getting ready 482 00:23:29,560 --> 00:23:34,240 Speaker 1: to head in and just just kind of communicating with him, Hey, 483 00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:36,040 Speaker 1: I'm coming right back to you, guys. We're gonna run 484 00:23:36,040 --> 00:23:37,560 Speaker 1: it in the second half. We're gonna run it however 485 00:23:37,600 --> 00:23:39,399 Speaker 1: we need to. And we were able to do that 486 00:23:39,480 --> 00:23:41,520 Speaker 1: and Dalvin Cook getting going a little bit and with 487 00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:44,360 Speaker 1: that big run. Really I think that eighty one yard 488 00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,640 Speaker 1: I really kind of sparked everything to kind of transpire 489 00:23:46,840 --> 00:23:48,720 Speaker 1: a spire after that. So it was a huge moment 490 00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:51,719 Speaker 1: to the end. You guys come up with having your 491 00:23:51,760 --> 00:23:54,199 Speaker 1: personality beginning of overtime when you running the ball. There 492 00:23:54,359 --> 00:23:58,200 Speaker 1: was that just trying to wear them down kind of laps, 493 00:23:58,240 --> 00:23:59,760 Speaker 1: and you could see it as we were able to 494 00:23:59,840 --> 00:24:03,000 Speaker 1: kind to churn out yards, mix in some passes, stay 495 00:24:03,080 --> 00:24:05,480 Speaker 1: and you know, stay aggressive in some no huddle, try 496 00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:07,600 Speaker 1: to find justin there and and and just see I 497 00:24:07,600 --> 00:24:10,879 Speaker 1: wanted to for sure ensure that we're in field goal 498 00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:12,800 Speaker 1: range to make sure we had to lead when the 499 00:24:12,800 --> 00:24:14,840 Speaker 1: Bills touched. I would have loved to finish that thing 500 00:24:14,880 --> 00:24:17,679 Speaker 1: off with a touchdown there and not ask our defense 501 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:19,919 Speaker 1: to go on the field. I do believe there's twelve 502 00:24:19,920 --> 00:24:23,520 Speaker 1: players on the field, um on on that run where 503 00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:26,680 Speaker 1: we kind of went backwards after Justin's catch down to 504 00:24:26,760 --> 00:24:28,840 Speaker 1: the two, I believe we'll have to go back and 505 00:24:29,160 --> 00:24:31,480 Speaker 1: count those up. I know it's moving pretty fast out 506 00:24:31,480 --> 00:24:35,280 Speaker 1: there sometimes. UM, so we'll just confirm that. But uh, 507 00:24:35,560 --> 00:24:37,840 Speaker 1: you know, need to be better kind of closing out 508 00:24:37,880 --> 00:24:40,159 Speaker 1: those those drives when we do get down there. But 509 00:24:40,800 --> 00:24:43,480 Speaker 1: it's a good defense over there, and uh well coached, 510 00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:47,119 Speaker 1: tough place to play, uh so to to find a 511 00:24:47,160 --> 00:24:48,560 Speaker 1: way to have more points in the end of day. 512 00:24:48,640 --> 00:24:50,560 Speaker 1: I'm gonna remember this one forever, guys, But telling me 513 00:24:50,840 --> 00:24:56,960 Speaker 1: that one regulation and you got a look at that, 514 00:24:57,960 --> 00:24:59,800 Speaker 1: I was right in front of me. UM didn't think 515 00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:02,399 Speaker 1: that was a catch in that mode. That means to 516 00:25:02,440 --> 00:25:05,160 Speaker 1: be something that either is from up top or possibly 517 00:25:05,240 --> 00:25:07,800 Speaker 1: New York. And we didn't get any clearifetition on that. 518 00:25:07,840 --> 00:25:13,400 Speaker 1: I did ask thank you all right now. I appreciate you, guys. 519 00:25:15,080 --> 00:25:18,120 Speaker 1: Kirk Cousins had his first three hundred yard passing game 520 00:25:18,160 --> 00:25:20,840 Speaker 1: of the season today, he got cold blooded late in 521 00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:23,359 Speaker 1: the game with those passes to JJ. Kirk had a 522 00:25:23,400 --> 00:25:26,680 Speaker 1: couple of rough interceptions, tried to sneak in to win 523 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:30,040 Speaker 1: the game very late, couldn't get in, but nevertheless, Kirk 524 00:25:30,080 --> 00:25:33,439 Speaker 1: continued to come through for a team he absolutely loves. 525 00:25:33,760 --> 00:25:36,280 Speaker 1: Here's what Kirk had to say after the game. Great 526 00:25:36,320 --> 00:25:40,560 Speaker 1: team win. Once again, similar to what I've been saying 527 00:25:40,560 --> 00:25:43,520 Speaker 1: after all other games. It took the whole team and 528 00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:47,000 Speaker 1: took every phase. It took one unit picking up another 529 00:25:47,080 --> 00:25:49,160 Speaker 1: unit making a play. It took a lot of different 530 00:25:49,160 --> 00:25:53,960 Speaker 1: phases of football. And obviously, you know, feel great about 531 00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:56,879 Speaker 1: the grit, the toughness that the resiliency of the group, 532 00:25:57,280 --> 00:26:00,400 Speaker 1: the way our coaches kept believing in us and kept going. 533 00:26:00,760 --> 00:26:02,640 Speaker 1: The fact that our defense only gave up six points 534 00:26:02,640 --> 00:26:06,919 Speaker 1: in the second half. Um, uh, you know, I just uh, 535 00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,959 Speaker 1: you know, you kind of learned just to really believe 536 00:26:09,040 --> 00:26:11,680 Speaker 1: and trust that at some point, you know, it could 537 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:14,920 Speaker 1: be the next place something's gonna turn. And it was 538 00:26:14,960 --> 00:26:16,840 Speaker 1: a wild game. I think the Bills are a really 539 00:26:16,840 --> 00:26:19,359 Speaker 1: good football team that will be playing a meaningful football 540 00:26:19,359 --> 00:26:23,320 Speaker 1: in January. It's a great atmosphere here. Um, you know, 541 00:26:23,440 --> 00:26:26,000 Speaker 1: certainly when it's a game that close, you can point 542 00:26:26,040 --> 00:26:27,600 Speaker 1: to any number of plays where the game could have 543 00:26:27,640 --> 00:26:30,479 Speaker 1: gone either direction. And we're you know, thrilled to come 544 00:26:30,520 --> 00:26:33,560 Speaker 1: out of here with a win, but uh, proud of 545 00:26:33,560 --> 00:26:37,400 Speaker 1: the way everybody played and just kept fightings. When you're 546 00:26:37,720 --> 00:26:41,840 Speaker 1: stopped on the sneak there, yea and the boom Kendricks 547 00:26:41,920 --> 00:26:45,200 Speaker 1: right anyway gets the phone, You're all over the map. 548 00:26:45,240 --> 00:26:48,400 Speaker 1: I mean, you're you're expecting to get in, didn't get 549 00:26:48,440 --> 00:26:50,800 Speaker 1: in about as close as you can get without getting 550 00:26:50,800 --> 00:26:54,199 Speaker 1: not getting without getting in. And then defense is a 551 00:26:54,200 --> 00:26:57,240 Speaker 1: phenomenal job, not only you know, provide pressure there, but 552 00:26:57,280 --> 00:27:01,200 Speaker 1: also then recovering it for a touchdown. And then um, 553 00:27:01,240 --> 00:27:02,320 Speaker 1: you know, then we had to get our mind right 554 00:27:02,359 --> 00:27:04,160 Speaker 1: for overtime, and I thought we ran the football really 555 00:27:04,160 --> 00:27:07,240 Speaker 1: well and overtime, so you know, there were a lot 556 00:27:07,240 --> 00:27:08,720 Speaker 1: of a lot of sequences there. We have to just 557 00:27:08,760 --> 00:27:14,959 Speaker 1: keep playing. You ever seen games, Yeah, I don't think 558 00:27:14,960 --> 00:27:17,159 Speaker 1: I've ever seen that one. It's an interesting situation just 559 00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:21,440 Speaker 1: because I understand how and why that can happen. Um, 560 00:27:21,480 --> 00:27:24,320 Speaker 1: And also, um, you know, you have to get out. 561 00:27:24,359 --> 00:27:25,600 Speaker 1: You don't want to have a safety and kick it 562 00:27:25,640 --> 00:27:28,240 Speaker 1: back to the other team. So it's a difficult situation 563 00:27:28,280 --> 00:27:30,320 Speaker 1: and you want to still run clock. So, UM, I 564 00:27:30,400 --> 00:27:35,040 Speaker 1: understand the challenge there playing subscribe what you saw the 565 00:27:35,119 --> 00:27:38,119 Speaker 1: room justly just throughout the entire day, even the block 566 00:27:38,520 --> 00:27:42,040 Speaker 1: that block them down. Yes, yes, I'm glad you mentioned 567 00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:46,440 Speaker 1: that because that was critical. Um, Justin did a phenomenal job. 568 00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:49,200 Speaker 1: You know, the first drive of the game, third and ten, 569 00:27:49,320 --> 00:27:51,679 Speaker 1: then the touchdown on third down as well, I believe, 570 00:27:52,240 --> 00:27:55,919 Speaker 1: um you know the place. I think the one that 571 00:27:56,040 --> 00:27:58,040 Speaker 1: was that I'll remember it was the fourth down where 572 00:27:58,040 --> 00:27:59,919 Speaker 1: it's basically for the game and the dB looks like 573 00:28:00,080 --> 00:28:04,600 Speaker 1: caught it. Justin rips it away and then one of 574 00:28:04,600 --> 00:28:06,800 Speaker 1: the ones that got us down near the goal line. Um, 575 00:28:07,600 --> 00:28:10,400 Speaker 1: as well as a big play. So he did phenomenal job. 576 00:28:10,680 --> 00:28:12,639 Speaker 1: But I also believe that t J and kJ and 577 00:28:12,640 --> 00:28:14,679 Speaker 1: Adam and Dalvin. You know the fact that we do 578 00:28:14,720 --> 00:28:17,280 Speaker 1: have other targets in the past game. I think it 579 00:28:17,400 --> 00:28:19,359 Speaker 1: helps quite a bit to be able to feel confident 580 00:28:19,359 --> 00:28:23,080 Speaker 1: that you can spread it round about. So this is 581 00:28:23,200 --> 00:28:25,199 Speaker 1: the type of wind that means this is our year, right, 582 00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:27,880 Speaker 1: And how do you balance the emotions that we went 583 00:28:27,880 --> 00:28:29,639 Speaker 1: a game like this, and it says what the team 584 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:32,080 Speaker 1: is capable of with if one if the middle of 585 00:28:32,119 --> 00:28:34,719 Speaker 1: the season, you gotta go back to work, Yeah, I'd 586 00:28:34,720 --> 00:28:36,520 Speaker 1: take to go back to work approach. You know, it's 587 00:28:36,600 --> 00:28:38,080 Speaker 1: it's day to day, week to week. You're only as 588 00:28:38,080 --> 00:28:40,960 Speaker 1: good as your last play, your last game. He certainly 589 00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:42,680 Speaker 1: want to stack up the wins, and we've been able 590 00:28:42,720 --> 00:28:46,280 Speaker 1: to do that for the most part. But being battle 591 00:28:46,360 --> 00:28:48,120 Speaker 1: tested is I guess what you take from it, because 592 00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,479 Speaker 1: you know, come January you're going to need that and 593 00:28:51,480 --> 00:28:53,680 Speaker 1: and so having had that, I think is the silver lining. 594 00:28:53,840 --> 00:28:55,560 Speaker 1: Like I've said, I'd like to pull away from people 595 00:28:55,600 --> 00:28:59,160 Speaker 1: more than we have and not gift teams opportunities like 596 00:28:59,200 --> 00:29:03,280 Speaker 1: I felt the turnals did today. But the battle tested 597 00:29:03,400 --> 00:29:05,120 Speaker 1: part of it is what you pull from it and 598 00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:15,320 Speaker 1: say that that can help us. Perhaps it is right, Yes, incredible. 599 00:29:16,120 --> 00:29:19,000 Speaker 1: I think belief in in not only yourself but the 600 00:29:19,040 --> 00:29:21,360 Speaker 1: players around you and the other units. You know, believing 601 00:29:21,360 --> 00:29:24,360 Speaker 1: the defense will makeup play, Believe in the uh your 602 00:29:24,360 --> 00:29:26,720 Speaker 1: teammates will make a play on offense. I think there's 603 00:29:26,720 --> 00:29:28,160 Speaker 1: a lot of belief and a lot of love for 604 00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:30,720 Speaker 1: for one another that goes along ways. How much did 605 00:29:30,760 --> 00:29:33,760 Speaker 1: that long touchdown run by Cook kind of read you. Yeah, 606 00:29:34,000 --> 00:29:35,360 Speaker 1: I think it was big, Chris. I think the fact 607 00:29:35,400 --> 00:29:36,960 Speaker 1: that I I didn't show up much clock. I think that 608 00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:39,040 Speaker 1: the fact that it kind of just gave us seven 609 00:29:39,080 --> 00:29:42,080 Speaker 1: points like that, I think it made a meaningful difference 610 00:29:42,080 --> 00:29:46,160 Speaker 1: in the final outcome. That Justin made one hand and 611 00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:49,640 Speaker 1: grab almost did that welcome feature where you weren't comfortable 612 00:29:49,640 --> 00:29:52,280 Speaker 1: with putting it up there for him. I hopefully I've 613 00:29:52,280 --> 00:29:53,880 Speaker 1: been going. I've been I've been putting it up there 614 00:29:53,880 --> 00:29:56,040 Speaker 1: for him for three years. So I think we'll keep 615 00:29:56,040 --> 00:29:59,400 Speaker 1: doing that. Yeah, keep prepared for your plane right home. 616 00:29:59,480 --> 00:30:03,240 Speaker 1: DEFENSI I think we reached the mountaintop last week. I 617 00:30:03,240 --> 00:30:05,800 Speaker 1: don't know that there's uh, I don't know that there's 618 00:30:05,800 --> 00:30:07,680 Speaker 1: anywhere to go from here. Someone else may have to 619 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:10,880 Speaker 1: take the mantle because I think we reached the mountaintop 620 00:30:10,960 --> 00:30:18,200 Speaker 1: last week. So all righty, thanks Kirk. Now, Joseph, you know, 621 00:30:18,280 --> 00:30:21,400 Speaker 1: with that field goal into the wind, it wasn't that long, 622 00:30:21,880 --> 00:30:23,800 Speaker 1: but he still had to hit it and like be 623 00:30:23,920 --> 00:30:27,600 Speaker 1: cold blooded and everything. And Greg hit that field goal late, ma'am. 624 00:30:27,960 --> 00:30:29,960 Speaker 1: You know that just shows you how tightly knit this 625 00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,680 Speaker 1: covenant is. He's missed five consecutive from fifty and beyond. 626 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,280 Speaker 1: Now he hasn't tried a fifty or kick in a 627 00:30:35,320 --> 00:30:38,040 Speaker 1: couple of games. But there were never any light. There 628 00:30:38,440 --> 00:30:42,040 Speaker 1: was no negativity bouncing around behind the scenes, like you 629 00:30:42,080 --> 00:30:43,600 Speaker 1: know what do we call kickers and bring him in 630 00:30:43,600 --> 00:30:46,400 Speaker 1: on a Tuesday and don't tell anybody. Nah, Greg's on 631 00:30:46,440 --> 00:30:48,760 Speaker 1: the team. He's part of the team. He was having 632 00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:52,160 Speaker 1: a problem and um, and so we're still gonna stick 633 00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:55,120 Speaker 1: with him. And he came through today, right, and so 634 00:30:55,280 --> 00:30:57,800 Speaker 1: is with all the excuse you talk about this game, 635 00:30:57,880 --> 00:31:00,800 Speaker 1: they had every excuse to just to point a finger 636 00:31:00,840 --> 00:31:02,520 Speaker 1: and say, yeah, you know, if you get the pa 637 00:31:02,560 --> 00:31:04,920 Speaker 1: t then you know we don't you know, we don't 638 00:31:05,000 --> 00:31:08,760 Speaker 1: need the touchdown. We did whatever. It's it's just how 639 00:31:08,800 --> 00:31:11,600 Speaker 1: this team goes about its business, Paul. They stick together. 640 00:31:11,800 --> 00:31:15,000 Speaker 1: They've got each other's back, and that only matters to 641 00:31:15,040 --> 00:31:17,600 Speaker 1: the fifty three guys that are in that locker room, 642 00:31:17,880 --> 00:31:20,920 Speaker 1: and they've embraced it. Duke Shelley, Duke Shelley coming up 643 00:31:20,960 --> 00:31:24,640 Speaker 1: and getting me right, it's that's but that's how you 644 00:31:24,720 --> 00:31:27,560 Speaker 1: elevate those those guys around you. And we've talked about 645 00:31:28,360 --> 00:31:31,480 Speaker 1: the just the performances of a handful of the leaders 646 00:31:31,480 --> 00:31:36,400 Speaker 1: on this team and how they're just elevating everyone around them. Uh, 647 00:31:36,480 --> 00:31:39,600 Speaker 1: you know, and Derris playing so great and they have 648 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,840 Speaker 1: Duke Shelley come in and finish the game for him, 649 00:31:41,880 --> 00:31:44,800 Speaker 1: and it's it's not it's not like we you know, 650 00:31:44,840 --> 00:31:47,120 Speaker 1: we have twenty two of our starters from day one 651 00:31:47,120 --> 00:31:49,360 Speaker 1: out there. We've got injuries all over the place as well, 652 00:31:49,360 --> 00:31:51,120 Speaker 1: and we're finding a way to get through them. Uh. 653 00:31:51,400 --> 00:31:54,920 Speaker 1: Ron Johnson has three takes that he offers with the 654 00:31:55,000 --> 00:31:58,800 Speaker 1: postgame report and there they are. Thanks. This is Ron 655 00:31:58,880 --> 00:32:01,880 Speaker 1: Johnson Company from the Kayan Studios, and these are my 656 00:32:01,960 --> 00:32:04,640 Speaker 1: three takeaways from today's game. The Vikings find a way 657 00:32:04,880 --> 00:32:07,320 Speaker 1: to win again. Thirty three to thirty. It feels like 658 00:32:07,520 --> 00:32:11,320 Speaker 1: Groundhog's Day. Feels like every weekend, the Vikings are finding 659 00:32:11,360 --> 00:32:14,360 Speaker 1: a way. They're down in games, they're fighting back, they're 660 00:32:14,440 --> 00:32:17,720 Speaker 1: down ten, they're down fourteen, whatever it is, this Vikings 661 00:32:17,720 --> 00:32:21,680 Speaker 1: team never gives up. So my first takeaway, Kirk Cousins 662 00:32:21,720 --> 00:32:25,360 Speaker 1: goes to Josh Allen. Nobody put Kirk Cousins on a 663 00:32:25,440 --> 00:32:27,480 Speaker 1: game that he can go toe to toe with Josh Allen. 664 00:32:27,800 --> 00:32:29,720 Speaker 1: I said that he had to throw forward three hundred 665 00:32:29,760 --> 00:32:30,960 Speaker 1: yards in the game like this, and he does it. 666 00:32:31,000 --> 00:32:34,160 Speaker 1: Three hundred and fifty seven yards and a touchdown. Kirk 667 00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:37,760 Speaker 1: Cousins out duels the great Josh Allen. Yes he had 668 00:32:37,800 --> 00:32:40,840 Speaker 1: the elbow injury. Yes he was out a little bit 669 00:32:40,880 --> 00:32:43,000 Speaker 1: during the week, but he still played. He was still 670 00:32:43,040 --> 00:32:44,960 Speaker 1: healthy enough. There's nothing he can do to hurt that elbow, 671 00:32:45,000 --> 00:32:47,680 Speaker 1: so he played carefree. He rushed for eighty four yards. 672 00:32:47,960 --> 00:32:50,160 Speaker 1: He had a big day as well, but Kirk Cousins 673 00:32:50,200 --> 00:32:52,440 Speaker 1: outdooled him in the end. Three hundred and fifty seven 674 00:32:52,520 --> 00:32:55,000 Speaker 1: yards and a touchdown and one of the best throws 675 00:32:55,000 --> 00:32:57,440 Speaker 1: I've seen at the end of the game. No, they 676 00:32:57,480 --> 00:32:59,320 Speaker 1: didn't score, but he got down. He got down to 677 00:32:59,400 --> 00:33:01,320 Speaker 1: the two yard line. Even though he didn't get in. 678 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,800 Speaker 1: The defense made the play, But that throwed to Justin 679 00:33:03,880 --> 00:33:05,640 Speaker 1: Jefferson getting down in the two yard line. That just 680 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:08,040 Speaker 1: shows Kirk Cousins is taking the chances and the risks 681 00:33:08,280 --> 00:33:10,520 Speaker 1: that everybody's been hoping he would take one day, and 682 00:33:10,600 --> 00:33:13,840 Speaker 1: he's doing it. Next up, Dalvin Cook, he wins the 683 00:33:13,880 --> 00:33:16,960 Speaker 1: cookout Dalvin Cook versus James Cook. James Cook didn't have 684 00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:19,120 Speaker 1: a ton of action today. We know that there's a 685 00:33:19,200 --> 00:33:21,640 Speaker 1: running back room with Singletary and some other guys. But 686 00:33:21,760 --> 00:33:25,040 Speaker 1: Dalvin Cook's fourteen attempts one hundred and nineteen yards and 687 00:33:25,080 --> 00:33:27,960 Speaker 1: at eighty one yard touchdown almost hit twenty two miles 688 00:33:27,960 --> 00:33:32,080 Speaker 1: an hour. But Dalvin Cook out rushes the entire Bills 689 00:33:32,320 --> 00:33:35,040 Speaker 1: running back room without josh ALN's eighty four yards. The 690 00:33:35,080 --> 00:33:37,440 Speaker 1: rest of those running backs had ninety one yards. Dalvin 691 00:33:37,440 --> 00:33:39,920 Speaker 1: Cook almost beat them on one run with an eighty 692 00:33:39,920 --> 00:33:42,880 Speaker 1: one yard or but Dalvin Cook did get one hundred 693 00:33:42,960 --> 00:33:46,680 Speaker 1: nineteen yards on fourteen carries. My next, Justin Jefferson, I mean, 694 00:33:46,720 --> 00:33:51,720 Speaker 1: he is just ridiculous. O MG. Justin Jefferson ten catches, 695 00:33:51,720 --> 00:33:54,400 Speaker 1: one hundred and ninety three yards and a touchdown. I said, 696 00:33:54,440 --> 00:33:56,200 Speaker 1: Justin Jefferson has to have a two hundred yard game 697 00:33:56,200 --> 00:33:58,360 Speaker 1: in order to get back, not this one. I figured 698 00:33:58,400 --> 00:33:59,800 Speaker 1: it was coming, but I didn't think it would be 699 00:33:59,800 --> 00:34:01,040 Speaker 1: this one. But he's gonna have to have from two 700 00:34:01,080 --> 00:34:03,320 Speaker 1: hundred yard games like Cooper Cup did in order to 701 00:34:03,360 --> 00:34:06,320 Speaker 1: get that. You know that that receiving record, that that 702 00:34:06,400 --> 00:34:10,719 Speaker 1: triple crown of catches touchdowns and yards touchesdowns. He's a 703 00:34:10,760 --> 00:34:13,600 Speaker 1: little lacking there, but yards and catches. He's still on 704 00:34:13,640 --> 00:34:16,080 Speaker 1: pace with ten to day and one hundred ninety three yards. 705 00:34:16,200 --> 00:34:18,880 Speaker 1: Stefan Digg definitely has some great plays. But justin Jefferson 706 00:34:19,239 --> 00:34:22,600 Speaker 1: fourth and eighteen, one handed catch with a guy all 707 00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:25,000 Speaker 1: over him, I don't know how he makes that catch. 708 00:34:25,320 --> 00:34:28,040 Speaker 1: That definitely is one of the top five catches I've 709 00:34:28,080 --> 00:34:30,839 Speaker 1: seen in NFL history in my opinion. I know there's 710 00:34:30,840 --> 00:34:33,120 Speaker 1: a lot of great ones out there. Don't at me, people, 711 00:34:33,360 --> 00:34:37,480 Speaker 1: but justin Jefferson, O m G. That was he had 712 00:34:37,480 --> 00:34:41,040 Speaker 1: an awesome day. My last bonus one I got to 713 00:34:41,080 --> 00:34:44,120 Speaker 1: go daniel and Zadarius their sacks today that they came 714 00:34:44,160 --> 00:34:46,799 Speaker 1: at key times me that the QB two point zero 715 00:34:47,080 --> 00:34:48,960 Speaker 1: was definitely on it. And when Danielle got that sack, 716 00:34:49,360 --> 00:34:51,439 Speaker 1: he was in a three point stands with his hand 717 00:34:51,440 --> 00:34:54,280 Speaker 1: in the ground. He's a different animal. He's the same beast, 718 00:34:54,280 --> 00:34:57,240 Speaker 1: but he's a different animal. That's why Danielle Hunter continues 719 00:34:57,239 --> 00:34:59,960 Speaker 1: to get the quarterback. He's learning that outside linebacker was 720 00:35:00,320 --> 00:35:01,680 Speaker 1: not the same as when he played in a four 721 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:04,839 Speaker 1: to three, but he's learning at three four outside linebacker. 722 00:35:05,040 --> 00:35:07,320 Speaker 1: And then of course Patrick Peterson along with the defense, 723 00:35:07,480 --> 00:35:10,279 Speaker 1: that's the third piece of that defense, two interceptions, the 724 00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:13,560 Speaker 1: most opportunistic time at the end of the game to 725 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:16,560 Speaker 1: seal the game, smart enough to go down, and those 726 00:35:16,600 --> 00:35:20,040 Speaker 1: are my three takeaways. And the bonus. Vikings are eight 727 00:35:20,200 --> 00:35:22,800 Speaker 1: and one. They find a way to beat the odds 728 00:35:22,880 --> 00:35:25,520 Speaker 1: on favorite to win the Super Bowl Buffalo Bills. This 729 00:35:25,600 --> 00:35:27,799 Speaker 1: could be a reunion or rematch later in the Super 730 00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,759 Speaker 1: Bowl Vikings versus the Bills, but that'll be it. Back 731 00:35:30,760 --> 00:35:33,759 Speaker 1: to you guys, all right, the Dallas Cowboys at us 732 00:35:33,840 --> 00:35:36,400 Speaker 1: Bank Stadium for an encore that games next week like 733 00:35:36,440 --> 00:35:39,840 Speaker 1: three twenty, the first of three consecutive for the Vikings 734 00:35:39,840 --> 00:35:42,879 Speaker 1: at home, they get Belichick on Thanksgiving Night. After that 735 00:35:42,920 --> 00:35:45,280 Speaker 1: they get to Sauce Gardner and the New York Jets 736 00:35:45,600 --> 00:35:47,760 Speaker 1: and all of that as an eight and one team. 737 00:35:48,280 --> 00:35:52,680 Speaker 1: After upsetting Josh Allen and the Buffalo Bills at high 738 00:35:52,719 --> 00:35:56,360 Speaker 1: Mark Stadium today, great job on the call, Pet, My god, 739 00:35:56,200 --> 00:35:58,680 Speaker 1: what a just what a blast? I mean, what a 740 00:35:58,760 --> 00:36:02,240 Speaker 1: How privileged lucky are we to be able to witness 741 00:36:02,280 --> 00:36:05,040 Speaker 1: something like this firsthand and be able to you know, 742 00:36:05,200 --> 00:36:08,719 Speaker 1: document it, call it. I mean, I'm humbled by me too. 743 00:36:09,160 --> 00:36:11,359 Speaker 1: What this team does and how they go about their business. 744 00:36:11,400 --> 00:36:13,800 Speaker 1: That's Pete versus analyst for the Vikings Radio network, and 745 00:36:13,840 --> 00:36:16,640 Speaker 1: I'm Paul Allen. That's your postgame report following a thirty 746 00:36:16,680 --> 00:36:20,160 Speaker 1: three thirty overtime victory by the Minnesota Vikings over the 747 00:36:20,200 --> 00:36:24,239 Speaker 1: Buffalo Bills. Let's head into the locker room and celebrate 748 00:36:24,320 --> 00:36:33,960 Speaker 1: with Kevin O'Connell as he addressed his team, we've won 749 00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:36,560 Speaker 1: the football games a lot of different way. Were talking 750 00:36:36,600 --> 00:36:40,480 Speaker 1: about any means necessary, being at your best when it's required, 751 00:36:40,640 --> 00:36:42,680 Speaker 1: but you also have to be willing to look inwards 752 00:36:42,719 --> 00:36:46,040 Speaker 1: sometimes when it's tough, all right, when it's really really hard, 753 00:36:46,800 --> 00:36:49,040 Speaker 1: and the only way you can perseverance by relying on 754 00:36:49,080 --> 00:36:52,440 Speaker 1: the man next to you. Coaches, players, you guys just 755 00:36:52,520 --> 00:36:55,680 Speaker 1: kept leaning in and leaning in. That's a very difficult 756 00:36:55,719 --> 00:36:57,680 Speaker 1: place to play. I think it's been about forty some 757 00:36:57,880 --> 00:37:00,439 Speaker 1: years since this team has lost here. When we're leaving 758 00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:07,600 Speaker 1: by fourteen points at half time, what we earned here 759 00:37:07,640 --> 00:37:10,920 Speaker 1: today is the final stand on understanding that we are 760 00:37:10,960 --> 00:37:19,080 Speaker 1: one of the best teams. We get to go prove 761 00:37:19,120 --> 00:37:21,000 Speaker 1: it each and every week we get an off. But 762 00:37:21,040 --> 00:37:22,880 Speaker 1: I love this team and I love her. Getting to 763 00:37:22,920 --> 00:37:24,560 Speaker 1: see you guys do your thing, give it up yourself. 764 00:37:28,840 --> 00:37:31,800 Speaker 1: This guy staying patient. I didn't get enough touches early, 765 00:37:31,960 --> 00:37:34,000 Speaker 1: but he continues to be at his best and huge 766 00:37:34,040 --> 00:37:46,359 Speaker 1: moments are running back down, Yes, sir, moments where you 767 00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:50,680 Speaker 1: have to have it in a football game. Okay, you 768 00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,600 Speaker 1: go to your best player and time and time again. 769 00:37:54,640 --> 00:38:01,280 Speaker 1: Today her cousins found this. He made you get just Jefferson. 770 00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:15,760 Speaker 1: I got a couple of captains, all right, two guys 771 00:38:15,760 --> 00:38:18,319 Speaker 1: that falled out on defense led the charge all day long. 772 00:38:18,680 --> 00:38:26,520 Speaker 1: First one. We'll get to that other captain here in 773 00:38:26,520 --> 00:38:28,319 Speaker 1: the second. But I do want to not miss out. 774 00:38:28,520 --> 00:38:37,480 Speaker 1: I'm Harrison Philip. Why the last but not least two interceptions? Guys, 775 00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:42,520 Speaker 1: I let this be as
