Bynum’s wife seeing her first Vikings game was one of many “firsts” for Vikings against New Orleans.

Quarterback Josh Dobbs made his first start after coming on in relief last week, and had another solid game leading the Vikings to a 27-3 third quarter lead.

Running back Ty Chandler scored his first career touchdown. He nearly had two but a holding penalty brought the second one back. Chandler saw increased playing time when starter Alexander Mattison left the game with a concussion.

Rookie defensive back Mekhi Blackmon snared his first career interception. He snagged one of two late interceptions that sealed the win. Both were thrown by Saints backup QB Jameis Winston, who came on after starter Derek Carr left following a big hit by Danielle Hunter.

A moment in the game held particular significance for Hunter as well. His league-leading 11th sack hit a threshold that triggers a $1-million contract bonus.

You haven't been paying attention to the bit.

It WAS a joke,then?  Set up by other joking posts?

I don't quite understand "attention to the bit".  I am old and not very used to The colloquial English spoken in USA over the past 30-40 years.

There was an initial poor reaction to the size of the contract offered to a #2, primarily blocking, TE - especially given the apparent number and size of the holes elsewhere on the team. Oliver's contract actually only takes up about 1.3% of the Vikings' cap space this year, but several folks have used the initial reaction sarcastically to blame shortcomings or mishaps on his contract, rather than the logical other reasons for things happening.

It's been pervasive throughout the threads and is just a little prodding funny joke that keeps popping up.

come now, my man. a comedian doing a "bit" on stage has been standard vernacular for many decades.

 

@wcblack34, an attorney by trade, has been wanting to shuck it all and take his act on the road since we've known him here.
