All right, boys, let's get under the hood and get into the weeds with this matchup against the Colts this weekend.
It was lingering at six for a lot of this week, and And there's obviously money coming in on your Minnesota Vikings.
Yeah, I think it's a pretty obvious 1-1 here, but it's just getting the offense back.
The stat that was floating around all this week was Jordan Mason, Justin Jefferson, Jordan Madison, and TJ Hawkinson have only played nine snaps together all season long.
One, Jordan Mason back is who I'm most excited for because I think, one, this run game desperately needs another guy in action in order to get Aaron Jones some rest here because now the report came out that he's been dealing with a sprained MCL for the last handful of weeks, and he's been gutting through it.
So not only am I excited for Jordan Mason to get back on the field, but I think Aaron Jones is too.
But I think it's going to add just another dynamic opportunity sort of factor into this group to where if they're able to get the run game going even stronger than they have been in previous weeks, I think it's only going to open things up for the pass game as well.
In previous weeks, you could point at the injuries, but now it's like, let's get it rolling this week and then have it hitting your stride in this gauntlet stretch of games.
Yeah, the offense has been playing without some key pieces, and obviously Jordan Mason for a month now, and you mentioned that Kevin Sievert article from this morning where Aaron Jones suffered the sprained MCL in the Chicago game, and he gutted it out through then.
