Our D-Line is going to eat.
Browns backup Nick harris is in line to start for JC tretter. Dalvin Tomlinson gave him a hard time last year when they played. He has 96 career snaps and weighs under 300 pounds.
He and Wyatt teller are in for a rough day.

Kirk Cousins is and has been good.
Since joining the #Vikings, Kirk Cousins has a passer rating of 104.8 and averages 7.8 YPA.
At some point, we just have to say he is really good, right?

Jets and AT: Best friends.
#Vikings WR Justin Jefferson on Adam Thielen's knack to score TDs: "He's a beast. He's a killer. He just knows how to get in the end zone. And I love to see it. I love to see his little Griddys in the end zone. They're hilarious."

Neat stat from Phil.
A fun Vikings play-calling stat…
On 2nd-and-4 or less (so, basically when your whole playbook is open):
LAST YEAR: Vikings ranked 28th in pass frequency rate (and averaged 8 yards per attempt)
THIS YEAR: Vikings rank 13th in pass frequency rate (and 19 yards per attempt)
