The loss at Detroit served as a wake-up call for a Minnesota team that had enjoyed beating up on some listless teams over the past few weeks. Now with Buffalo up next, things won't be any easier in Week 9, and the Vikings will be forced to make some adjustments after last week's defeat.
It may be hard to believe, but we’re already in Week 9 of the NFL season, as your 6-1 Vikings prepare for a matchup every fan had circled on their schedule.
Recent stories suggested that the Minnesota Vikings could at least consider making a move to land Indianapolis Colts quarterback Daniel Jones before the NFL trade deadline arrives at 4:00 p.m.
The NFL trade deadline is November 10 at 4 p.m. ET, and several teams have already signaled their intent to sell off. Several prominent players have already been moved, and these 25 could follow.
The Minnesota Vikings have reached the “but” phase of the Kyler Murray era. That was quick. The two-time Pro Bowl quarterback is posting paltry production for the Purple and Gold, squandering some of the momentum that a first-class defense has built over the first half of the season.
Wentz, who is expected to start while Murray is dealing with a hamstring strain, should give the Vikings the opportunity to make more big plays, and that would be a relief to Kevin O’Connell as well as the Vikings receivers.
Justin Jefferson is not happy with how the Minnesota Vikings offense is being inconsistent despite a hot start to the 2026 NFL season. Jefferson is halfway through the seventh season of his career with the Vikings.

There was already doubt surrounding Kyler Murray’s status for the game, as he suffered a hamstring injury in their last game, and Carson Wentz is set to be QB1 against the Bills.
It’s a bit of a longer injury report for the Vikings to kick off their practice week ahead of Monday night’s game against the Bills, but the good news is that only two players were unable to practice in some capacity on Thursday.
Former Tennessee Volunteers wide receiver Jauan Jennings was at the center of an odd story last week. Longtime NFL insider Jay Glazer reported last week that former Tennessee Vols wide receiver Jauan Jennings was nearly traded from the Minnesota Vikings to the San Francisco 49ers.
The Minnesota Vikings will turn to veteran Carson Wentz to start Monday's game against the Buffalo Bills as fellow quarterback Kyler Murray deals with a sore hamstring.
This is the second time since Murray was knocked out of Minnesota's Week 1 game against the rival Green Bay Packers on Sept. 13 that the Vikings have had to turn to Wentz.
The Vikings boast a 6-1 record, but their playoff aspirations are all but certain. The NFC North is the best division in football, and it's possible a team could win 10 games but finish dead last.
The Minnesota Vikings announced they have signed G C.J. Hanson to the practice squad. Hanson, 25, was a seventh-round pick by the Chiefs in the 2024 draft out of Holy Cross.
As we approach the midpoint of the 2026 NFL season, it's time to check in on some contenders who struggled in Week 8. Let's break down some disappointing units and rank them on the panic meter.
