- Oct 12 Alec Lewis (X) Thought one of the most positive Vikings things from the tape yesterday was the way they finished the game on the ground. Creative run schemes (wham, power, Jefferson at FB, etc.). OL did the job. Aaron Jones ran hard as hell. Generated 6-yard and 8-yard chunks.

- Oct 11 Andrew Krammer (Bluesky) Aaron Jones had a career-high 28 touches today. Proved me wrong by trucking through Saints safety Julian Blackmon during his 8-yard touchdown run in the third quarter. Gutsy performance.
- Oct 11 Will Ragatz (X) Redemption for Aaron Jones. Plows over a defender for the Vikings' second touchdown of the day. Minnesota goes up 20-13 a minute into the fourth.
- Oct 11 Alec Lewis (X) One thing about Aaron Jones is this guy is a freaking warrior.
- Oct 11 Will Ragatz (X) Aaron Jones fumbled at the Saints' 7 and New Orleans went on to score a touchdown. Myles Price fumbled at the Saints' 12 and New Orleans returned it for a touchdown. Lot of game left, but if the Vikings lose, those two plays will be why.
- Oct 11 Will Ragatz (X) Halftime: Saints 7, Vikings 6 More frustration on offense for Minnesota. Kyler is 15/18 but has taken two sacks. Aaron Jones fumbled in the red zone. Penalties have remained an issue. Despite that, the game is right there for the taking. Thoughts, folks?

- Oct 11 Andrew Krammer (Bluesky) Aaron Jones is averaging 24 touches/game at 31 years old without Jordan Mason ... fumbled another play out of bounds vs Miami, when he also dropped two passes. Workload looks like it's getting to him.
- Oct 11 Ben Goessling (Bluesky) Two trips inside the Saints' 25 have resulted in three points for the Vikings, after the Ryan Van Demark penalty that wiped out a third-down conversion and Khristian Boyd's strip of Aaron Jones.
- Oct 11 Jeff Duncan (X) Huge takeaway there for the Saints defense. I still don't know who forced the ball free from Aaron Jones, but Chase Young scooped it up and returned it 26 yards to thwart a second Vikings' scoring opporunity.
- Oct 11 Alec Lewis (X) Oh man. Aaron Jones fumbles, and now he's limping off with trainers and headed to the medical tent.
- Oct 11 Will Ragatz (X) Oh my goodness. Aaron Jones just fumbled in the red zone. Saints recover. The Vikings are allergic to touchdowns.
