We probably should've blown them out. Washington is very aggressive though and played their hearts out. They could be good in a couple years I think.

The Commanders have a very good defense, especially up front. And that will always keep games close for them. They need a QB. And they need a more creative offensive mind to go with that QB.

This locker room has a very 2009 feel to it. The team doesn’t have the overall talent of the 2009 roster, but these players are having fun

think of this game and the locker room from Hock's perspective.... he has to like where he is.

but then, the Lions beat the Pack to day too. everyone's happy!!

Minnesota wakes up just in time. 

The Vikings started Sunday's game with a statement drive, covering 78 yards on nine plays and finishing with a passing touchdown to Justin Jefferson. Then, Minnesota's offense disappeared. The Vikings' next seven possessions ended with six punts and one interception, and they didn't add to the scoreboard again until the fourth quarter.

But much like their first possession of the afternoon, the Vikings were able to turn to Jefferson in their time of need. On third-and-7, Kirk Cousins connected with Jefferson for 47 yards, setting up an eventual Greg Joseph field goal. Deadline-day acquisition T.J. Hockenson hit the ground running with his new team, catching nine passes for 70 yards. And despite having a tough day overall, Dalvin Cook came through in a big spot, catching a Cousins touchdown pass to tie the game.

It wasn't pretty, but it was enough to move to 7-1. This win could go a long way toward Minnesota's playoff ambitions.

The Heinicke interception set up Minnesota's game-tying touchdown, but the final blow came when the Vikings lined up to kick a go-ahead field goal with 1:55 left, made it, and received a fresh set of downs when Washington defensive tackle John Ridgeway made contact with the long snapper.

Instead of getting the ball back with roughly 1:50 left to try to either tie or win the game, Washington could only wait in agony as the Vikings took another 99 seconds off the clock before kicking the game-winner. Those small errors melded into a big mistake -- and a deflating loss.
