1. Finally- JJ was not the pure focus of the Viking offense. I was wondering how this would play out with JJ going up against the bears JJ- Jaylon Johnson- all game. That one of the best man cover corners in the league. The bears also added safety help on many of #18's routes.
The result- addison goes for 165 yds. Hockenson goes for 90. Aaron Jones caught a key 3rd diwn conversion. In all, I think 7 vikings caught multiple passes. Jefferson, I think, having just one catch through 4 qtrs. Its about dam time the perps made a concerted effort to use plan B to guide a victory.

2. Aaron Jones had 2 knocks on him in geenbay. Always popping up on the injury report, and untimely fumbles. He's checked off both boxes as a viking. Hes a heckuva RB. But cmon dude. Quit fumbling!

3. The viking run D absolutely dominated- on GRASS! This worried me when i called this game a trap last week. I was pleasantly surprised at the vikings holding down deandre swift. Even more surprise Roschon Johnson. A poormans Derrick Henry, did run wild via size, power & toughness on the Chico grass. Perhaps the most unsung positive take from this game. Johnson is a LOAD- Tge vikings stuffed him!

4- when the announcers told us. Nfl onside kucks are 0-9 this year. I turned to the wife & said. Its going to be 1-9. Note to viking st's. Get out the fkn way between 0-9 yds. At the 9 yard mark. Block somebody or drop on the ball. Do not get stood up & engaged by the kicking team before 9 yards. They got overzealous.
And yeah. Up by 11. I think we all saw the eventual tie on the horizon. No Viking fan of multiple decades isnt doing the math at the 6 minute mark. Then expecting the vikes to find the path to the improbable finish... Which brings us to #5...

5- stone walled the bears in OT. Impressive!
Even more impressive- didnt get cute on offense. Carved the bear D to victory.
Again- its about dam time Kevin Oconnell!
That OT drive? 100% going straight at the victory.
Too often from the vikings. We see the opposite.
It seems fear of mistake gets in the way of victory.

That was the Bears 2024 superbowl. Maybe its a 3 game stretch of bears superbowl?

Loss to pack on a blocked kick
Loss to Vikings in OT.
Next up- Thanxgiving with the Campbells.
Kneecappers beware.
3rd times a charm?

That'd be sweet!
It was thanksgiving in detroit- 3 years ago vs the Packers. That is in retrospect- the coming out party for the bully ballers from Detroit.

Turnabout IS fairplay.
