Sorry about that...we completely skipped last week's tie against Green Bay, and the consequences that came from it. Well, we have a new kicker, and Kirk Cousins appears to be the real deal. I am still salty that the coaching staff took the ball out of Kirk's hands in the final few plays of overtime when he was dealing and probably would have thrown another touchdown to win the game. Instead, the coaching staff decided that they could maybe trust a kicker who hadn't made a kick all day.
Spoiler alert: they couldn't...and that's why Dan Bailey is now our kicker.
Fast forward a week; this is a game you absolutely have to win with a short week to follow, and your next two games being against the Rams and Eagles. Buffalo may very well threaten to join the 0-fer club, population Detroit (2008) and Cleveland (2017). Theoretically, this should be the easiest game the Vikings play all year...but of course, the Vikings never make anything easy on themselves, so I'm not holding my breath on a blowout win.
The Vikes will probably make this game closer than it has to be. Then again, it could turn out exactly like the Bengals game from late last year. That's all I have to say about this game on short notice.
