Full Transcript for Vikings Postgame Report: The Minnesota Vikings Fall 19-15 To The Detroit Lions, Move To 6-1 - WK 8

that thing off, make them stop us. We get the ball back, go three and out, and now all of a sudden you're thinking, okay, we're not in a hurry. because our defense is holding up against their offense. It's a feeling and an attitude that you get. So they were very patient and just continued to hand the football off. 00:06:56 Speaker 1: We are going to hear from Vikings quarterback Kyler Murray shortly, likewise for head coach Kevin O'Connell. Just to amplify what the analyst just shared, defensively, the Detroit Lions lost their second-best defensive end, former Viking D.J. Wanamu, at five sacks into the game. They lost him. He left on a cart. Jack Campbell, their leading tackler, part of the heart and soul of their defense. Whatever happened to him caused about a 10-12 minute delay in the game. While they could get the stretcher and a card out, he left, replaced by Malcolm Rodriguez. They also lost their best corner, DJ Reeder, in the second half, replaced by a safety in Khalil Dorsey. And they, a Jew Scruggs, ended up playing center because they lost their center, Cade Mays. So The Lions had to overcome a lot of injuries today. They put the Vikings on their first loss of the season. Let's hear from head coach Kevin O'Connell. 00:07:52 Speaker 4: All right, I'll get to our injuries, just kind of updates in a second, but didn't want to start out and just mention we're all thinking and praying for Jack Campbell. I asked Dan after the game if he had any update. He didn't have much of one, but definitely something that you hate seeing. You know, competitive, super physical NFC North game, but still, you know, hard to talk about the result when you see something like that. 00:08:26 Speaker 2: So just thoughts and prayers with him for sure. 00:08:28 Speaker 4: We knew we were going to need to play well in all three phases to win a game. Tough place to come play. Thought our team battled. Thought we made some plays offensively. Thought we left some plays out there. And ultimately, you know, there were some sequences in the game where I think we can just be better complementary, you know, of the other phases, you know, of our team and vice versa. But injury update wise, Theo Jackson had a quad contusion, did not return. We'll see how he comes in and feels this week. Brian O'Neill, Isaiah Rogers, Max Bredesen, and Kyler Murray. Brian had the, you know, they called down from up top. He was fine with the concussion eval. Isaiah Rogers, ankle sprain. Max Bredesen, um, evaluated for a knee. He returned and Kyler Murray, uh, just some hamstring tightness and, uh, he was able to return, um, late in the football game, you know, that took place. But, um, you know, obviously from a result standpoint, our first, you know, our first real adversity as a team, uh, you know, coming on November 1st, we've got to respond the right way. 00:09:31 Speaker 2: We got to respond, go back to work and. 00:09:34 Speaker 4: Get ready to play Monday night football at us bank stadium against a. 00:09:37 Speaker 2: Really good team. Um, but, uh, With that, I'll open it up to you guys. 00:09:46 Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, you know, we had some opportunities for him, and you know, there were some chances there. I thought we missed a couple of them high, if I remember right, and then just you know, just the way the flow of the game went, we only had 50 plays and trying to, you know, activate both him and Jay. 00:10:07 Speaker 2: I thought TJ made some plays. 00:10:10 Speaker 4: But we got to, you know, we got to find a way to, especially on, you know, potential chances for him, you know, on some of those sequences where we're looking to kind of kick off some momentum. He's a great guy to do it behind, and we'll continue to find ways to get him football. 00:10:25 Speaker 2: But division game, these guys want to win. 00:10:28 Speaker 4: I don't fault the frustration or the competitiveness in any way, shape, or form. 00:10:35 Speaker 1: What did you see with Kyler throughout the course of the day as far as him maybe not. 00:10:39 Speaker 2: Seeing it very well? 00:10:41 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, I definitely got to go back and look at it because from my vantage point or knowing the coverage on a play, you're thinking maybe there's going to be some opportunities, but I thought, you know, I thought he made some, you know, big time throws, even the first one to, you know, to pull there on the Ben Yorosik on the, you know, the low cross and then even on the sequence where, you know, it looks like Jay gets behind him a couple plays later and we've you know, we wanted to be aggressive and got to take a look at where that throw was, where the defender was. It looked like Jay was coming back to it, maybe played through some contact there before the ball got there. But I just thought in general, you know, there were some positives, but there's still some plays that, you know, we were leaving out there that. 00:11:26 Speaker 2: Will help with the overall rhythm of the game. 00:11:29 Speaker 4: And we've got to continue to find that, you know, find the best way to get him comfortable, get him feeling like, you know, the he can consistently just throw completions. You know, I thought there was a big sequence there, you know, not only after, you know, on the first drive, but, you know, after the interception to have two, three and outs and, you know, some, some negatives in there set you up for some third and longs. 00:11:52 Speaker 2: That's not the formula. That hasn't been the formula for, for anybody. 00:11:56 Speaker 4: Um, and we've got to avoid those negatives, avoid, you know, any of the negatives that are self-inflicted either by execution, um, you know, some, some, you know, chances to maybe put the ball in play and scratch and claw, uh, your way back to just that new set of downs. Cause you can see it when we get going a little bit, there's some encouraging things going on out there. Um, but, uh, we just need to do it more

consistently to help, uh, you know, with the, you know, football has just a game of momentum and, and when you can capture it, when you get a play to capture, you got to capitalize on that and go get some points. 00:12:30 Speaker 2: And, um, going to keep working for sure. 00:12:33 Speaker 4: And there's a lot of things to work towards in a positive manner because of the talent, the skill sets of all. 00:12:39 Speaker 2: Of our guys. 00:12:40 Speaker 4: But we got to, you know, we got to, we're into November now and we got to start working with the same urgency we've had. 00:12:46 Speaker 2: I mean, the preparation has been really good. 00:12:49 Speaker 4: Just, you know, continuing to wait for that consistent, you know, four quarters of good football. 00:12:55 Speaker 2: And see what that looks like. What's the read there? 00:12:59 Speaker 4: Yeah, it's just a very standard, you know, Dan had three timeouts left and we're trying to still be aggressive and take some chunks and then get that thing under the two minute and into their zone. I thought we had a chance at Justin on the play. I got it once again, you know, from my vantage point to evaluate it right now. 00:13:18 Speaker 2: Did think we could maybe stay on the move. 00:13:20 Speaker 4: You know, once, you know, we had some good ways of getting him on the perimeter today, getting him moving outside the pocket. and thought we had a chance at Justin, who he was trying to throw to on the play. I think it just got away from him. You know, that one kind of, you know, something you remember in the game. We ended up scoring on the red zone trip, but we, you know, thought we had a chance at him a little high. 00:13:41 Speaker 2: On that one. 00:13:42 Speaker 4: And then there was a third down against kind of an all-up kind of look where he spun out and maybe had Justin right at the chain. So, you know, there's three right there where I think Justin had nine targets where those three just trigger more plays. 00:13:55 Speaker 2: Than if nothing else. 00:13:56 Speaker 4: But I did think that that was a critical sequence, especially with them getting the ball, you know, a chance with the lead, you know, to pitch and catch and have the ability to kind of dictate the end of the first half for, at worst, hopefully three points. But we were, you know, we were trying to, you know, obviously manage the clock and not get doubled up, but want to score touchdowns, especially on the road when you get an opportunity like that. 00:14:20 Speaker 2: When you talk about getting. 00:14:21 Speaker 5: Kyler comfortable, what is the process of doing that? 00:14:24 Speaker 6: What do you. 00:14:26 Speaker 4: Need to do in coaching staff to get him there? It's going back through it. Any of the inconsistencies really dive into the why. I don't necessarily believe it's going to be one tell-all thing. I think it's how we continue to put together the plans, where he's most comfortable in his alignment, and then marrying up the offense from there, and I think we're, I think we've done a good job of that from a standpoint of, you know, the ability to gun run, gun play action, screen, you know, movement game, and we like the idea of getting them on the perimeter. We like the idea of activating them a little bit here and there in the run game, which we saw a little bit today, but I don't necessarily think right now off the top of my head it's one particular thing, but that's what we've got to go back, and I'm very fortunate to have an extra day to go to work on that and knowing that, you know, we're just looking for consistent, you know, it doesn't need to be much more than just guys doing their jobs and, you know, pitching and catching, you know, protection. I thought for the most part we had a good plan for 97. 00:15:34 Speaker 2: We had a good plan for some of their stuff. 00:15:38 Speaker 4: That one or two more plays could change the whole dynamic of one of those one of those sequences that we needed to make play. 00:15:45 Speaker 6: You had a fourth and five on your last drive. 00:15:46 Speaker 2: Did you think about going for it? 00:15:47 Speaker 1: What went into that decision? 00:15:49 Speaker 4: Yeah, you know, when I went for it on the fourth and four, we got the exact look we wanted on the play. I think there was a little bit of internal pressure, but we had J.A. versus a one-on-one matchup screaming across the field. You'd love to be able to just take a hitch and drive that ball. 00:16:01 Speaker 2: J.A. probably scores on the play. 00:16:03 Speaker 4: I think there was some internal, you know, kind of pressure right there forced him to kind of get that ball up early. talking to Flo, you know, before that, you know, obviously it was a long sequence there while they were tending to Jack on the field. It just felt like it was a moment to be aggressive, knowing that I have total trust and confidence in our defense. And they got the stop, we got the ball back, and we went down and got a fourth-quarter lead. 00:16:27 Speaker 2: But tip your cap to them. 00:16:29 Speaker 4: For the way they were able to move it and go down there and get the touchdown and take the lead back. 00:16:34 Speaker 2: We had all three timeouts. at the time, the two-minute. 00:16:38 Speaker 4: So there was an opportunity there to put a defense that we've got a ton of confidence in to get a stop and see how much time we could have coming back at them at that moment. 00:16:49 Speaker 2: Especially that far backed up in our own territory. 00:16:53 Speaker 7: Did not getting the other fourth down at all. 00:16:56 Speaker 2: Influence not going for it on? No, I think it was one of those things where... I think the sequence played out. 00:17:04 Speaker 4: You'd love to not only get the first down, but have a chance against a look like that to score. But the response of our defense was really good. And then Kyler hitting J on the big one and then scoring a couple plays later. 00:17:17 Speaker

2: That's the type of. 00:17:18 Speaker 4: Response you need in a moment like that. And then we just didn't get it. We couldn't get him stopped on the last one. 00:17:32 Speaker 1: I did. 00:17:32 Speaker 2: Yeah, I did. Like I said, my confidence. 00:17:37 Speaker 4: Level in those guys and where we were at in the game from a standpoint of if we don't get it, what that looks like with them immediately getting points. or being in the scoring range. If we do get it, the circumstances are obviously very easy to look at it as a. 00:18:00 Speaker 2: Shoulda, coulda, woulda type situation. 00:18:01 Speaker 4: But where we were at on the field more so was played into a decision of punting that ball away and trusting the fact that between the kicking game phase and getting a stop there, we would get one more out. 00:18:16 Speaker 2: Kevin, just the run game, I mean, how tough? does it feel offensively when it just doesn't feel like you're getting enough? 00:18:23 Speaker 6: Yeah. 00:18:23 Speaker 4: And we're trying to avoid, you know, you know, being in a situation where we're, you know, setting ourselves up for third and longers. And, um, they, you know, they do some things schematically, you know, playing their base defensive group in verse year 11 group, which, you know, can limit some of the things that you want to do, but at the same time, set you up, uh, to maybe focus in the, you know, your own bigger groupings and marry up some plays from there. Um, That's where, to me, those early down completion chunk kind of plays where we don't have to hold the ball very long. 00:18:54 Speaker 2: We've got people. 00:18:55 Speaker 4: Running through some zones, and we pitch and catch those and activate some of our playmakers run after catch. You have a chance now to kind of flip how you're being played. But, yeah, obviously a couple of Kyler's runs were positive for the overall element of it, but it did feel at times like it was– tough sledding in there, and you're just trying not to set yourself up to play. We only had 10 third downs, which was good because I think the 8 or 10 explosives that we did have kind of offset some of the high volume of third downs that we've seen in some of the games earlier on this season, but ultimately we've got to take a look at it and find the perfect balance to be able to run it. 00:19:39 Speaker 2: We want to run it and then. 00:19:40 Speaker 4: Activate our best players on the perimeter are Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison, and those guys can change football games We've got to find a way to do that. 00:19:49 Speaker 5: Kevin, as you guys have people running through zones, what do you need to do to get Kyler to the point where the timing is such that. 00:19:55 Speaker 6: The ball comes out and he gets those things? 00:19:57 Speaker 4: Yeah, I don't necessarily think it has much to do with timing because we tie the rhythm of the quarterback, whatever action it's off of, or if it's just in a straight drop back or we're moving him off the spot in the movement game. Those things are all, you know, tied into, you know, having him set ready to throw when we want to pull the trigger. And sometimes there's a level of anticipation there in some of those zones, throwing it in between underneath players as Justin, you know, runs in behind. Or when we do get to the top shelf, you know, getting the ball down the field like he did to Jordan over the top of it. You know, had a chance early on we talked about in the game that– You know, those are the ones you just want them to be aggressive and you want to have a completion mindset when they defend the deep part of the field. There's going to be some completions there in rhythm. And then also, you know, his ability to activate his athleticism has been a positive thing for us. Now we've just got to figure out, you know, what that balance looks like and activate those things with consistency. 00:20:59 Speaker 2: And then, you know, you try to build momentum from there. 00:21:04 Speaker 1: Kyler Murray, we're going to hear from him momentarily. Kyler led the Vikings in rushing. They threw off what you said before we went to KO, who was in search of his 50th victory as Vikings coach. The Vikings passed markedly more than they ran today, and they either had the lead or it was a one-score game. What do you think about all that? 00:21:27 Speaker 3: Well, I think if you're going to throw the ball more in that regard with attempts– is the completion percentages to your Jordan Addison's and your Justin Jefferson's have to be better. Of 17 targets of those two receivers, we had eight receptions for 99 yards. So if you're going to throw the ball, you've got to get more out of that. And for whatever reason, just looking at it right now, obviously I haven't seen the film or anything else, but the The rapport, the timing, the whatever that is between Kyler Murray and Justin Jefferson just really wasn't there today. The touchdown throw was beautiful. I mean, that was perfectly set up, the whole thing. But in between the 20s, man, it's like they're just not– it just didn't feel like they were on the same page. And, right, if you want to start throwing the ball more, which I think they should have today because of the injuries of the Lions and the guys that they had out on the field, you should have been able– to expose that secondary. 00:22:32 Speaker 1: Lions also lost Brian Branch in the first half. Absolutely, yeah. 00:22:36 Speaker 3: And so you would think you could expose that secondary, and we just were not able to. 00:22:43 Speaker 1: Kyler threw for 210, a couple of touchdowns, one to Justin, the other to TJ Hawkinson. He threw an interception that went the way of DJ Reed. He led the Vikings in rushing with 35 yards, averaging nearly nine yards per run with a long of 22. Let's hear from Kyler. 00:23:00 Speaker 8: Before we start, I just want to say my thoughts and prayers are with Jack Campbell and his family. 00:23:08 Speaker 6:

Hate to see that, but I hope he's okay. 00:23:11 Speaker 4: Why did you feel like the offense lacked consistency today? 00:23:18 Speaker 6: A lot of reasons. 00:23:18 Speaker 8: I mean, I got to go back and watch it, but penalties, too many misses. I don't know the statistics on, you know, us running the ball today or me in the air, but just too much inconsistency. We didn't execute at a high enough level in a hostile environment on the road against a team that is a good team. So credit to them for the way they played today. 00:23:42 Speaker 6: I thought we had our opportunities to get it done today, but we just didn't. 00:23:48 Speaker 7: When you say inconsistencies, is there a thread perhaps in them that you're seeing, like a pattern perhaps? 00:23:53 Speaker 2: What do you mean? 00:23:56 Speaker 7: In consistent play of the offense, is there something that you're seeing like trends in certain ways, like you're hurried in certain situations or something that you feel like you can. 00:24:03 Speaker 8: Get over the hump like? Yeah, I mean, again, the confidence in the group is not going to waver. You know, I know we have the guys in the locker room and on that side of the ball to be the best. And that's truly how I feel. But again, we got to go out there and do it on Sundays. And right now, that's just not the case. Just too many, you know, whether it's me or somebody else, you know, it's too many of my bads and it's not good enough. 00:24:23 Speaker 6: And it got its beat today. 00:24:25 Speaker 3: On the interception, what was your thought process there? 00:24:28 Speaker 2: Were you. 00:24:28 Speaker 6: Yeah, I had pressure. 00:24:29 Speaker 8: The ball was going to Jets. Obviously sailed on me. Didn't think that it was going to get intercepted, but that's, you know, that's how this game is. 00:24:37 Speaker 6: You know, sometimes it doesn't bounce your way. But that's on me. 00:24:41 Speaker 2: How frustrating, I mean, you guys have talked about being close. Like, how frustrating is it that that conversation is just, like, you haven't been able, it hasn't been able to click? 00:24:49 Speaker 8: Yeah. I mean, it's frustrating, but at the end of the day, we were 6-0 before coming into this game, and that's, We're not going to sit here and dwell on the what-ifs and the negatives and stuff like that, because at the end of the day, it's the NFL, and it's hard to win. And to be 6-0 while we're struggling, yes, we're going to keep grinding, and that's just who we are. Like I said, the confidence in the group has not wavered once, and it won't. We lost today, but I know we'll be back better because of it. It's a little adversity. So I know the guys in that locker room are built the right way, and the standard that we have in there, it'll show. 00:25:23 Speaker 2: It seemed like it was pretty clear emphasis towards the pass. 00:25:25 Speaker 4: You mentioned the pass and the run ratio. 00:25:27 Speaker 2: Would you have hoped that. 00:25:28 Speaker 6:

I don't know what the numbers were, but. 00:25:30 Speaker 2: Yeah, it was more towards pass than it typically is. 00:25:33 Speaker 4: Would you have thought at this point you guys would be able to support that, or is it just still ongoing. 00:25:38 Speaker 6: Trying to get the... Trying to run the ball, or. 00:25:41 Speaker 2: To be ready to support more with passing? 00:25:43 Speaker 8: Yeah, again, I really honestly, I can't... I got to go back and watch, see how many times we threw the ball or ran it, but. 00:25:53 Speaker 8: I think that we've got to be better on both sides, both phases of running and passing it. 00:25:58 Speaker 6: I don't know what the numbers were. 00:26:00 Speaker 5: Just a big picture, when you look back on the game, how would you evaluate yourself? 00:26:05 Speaker 6: How did you feel out there? Felt good. I don't think it was good enough today, though. Obviously, we lost. 00:26:13 Speaker 8: Whatever I can do to be better, I've got to go back and watch it. That's how we all grade ourselves. We've got to go out and look in the mirror. 00:26:19 Speaker 6: I'll do that myself. But it wasn't good enough today. But as far as how I felt being out there in the game, I felt good. 00:26:25 Speaker 2: What did you see on that fourth and five? I think you guys. 00:26:29 Speaker 6: Went for it. 00:26:30 Speaker 2: What did you see on that play? It was man. 00:26:33 Speaker 8: I want to say TJ and Jess got doubled. Obviously left Jay one-on-one, but they got pressure. I didn't really get to throw it the way I would like to. But just trying to give Jay a chance in that moment. Obviously it's fourth down, get the ball up, can't really take a sack. So I didn't see the end result. 00:26:50 Speaker 7: Kyler, when Justin caught that ball, out of all of the guys that you've ever thrown a ball to, is he the most insane guy that can catch a ball that people didn't think could. 00:27:01 Speaker 8: Even be caught? 00:27:02 Speaker 6: Yeah, I mean, he's up there. 00:27:03 Speaker 2: He's up there. 00:27:04 Speaker 8: Obviously, he is who he is. You know, anytime he's one-on-one, it's kind of a no-brainer to try to give him a chance, you know, at the ball. So, you know, just thankful that he made a play. 00:27:15 Speaker 2: Kevin mentioned you had hamstring tightness. Does that hamper. 00:27:18 Speaker 7: You at all? 00:27:19 Speaker 6: No, I mean, it didn't really come up to it. 00:27:22 Speaker 8: Really, we only got one more drive after it happened, so it didn't really hamper anything today, no. 00:27:27 Speaker 6: Do you expect that to be anything moving forward? No, I mean, we'll go back and look at it and, you know, obviously do what we need to do. 00:27:35 Speaker 5: How would you assess the connection with Justin when the defense is playing the way they are? What does it mean to happen for you guys to get. 00:27:42 Speaker 2: On the same page? 00:27:42 Speaker 8: Yeah, we've got to find ways to get them the ball. You know, obviously they're going to double them, and they did today, doubled a couple guys today. 00:27:49 Speaker 6: And that's just part of it. You know, this is my first year with him. 00:27:52 Speaker 8: So, obviously, KO and, you know, everybody that's been here understands how he gets treated and how he gets played. But, yeah, we've got to find ways to get the ball. Obviously, he's frustrated, and that's understandable. You know, he is who he is, and he has every right to feel the way he feels when he doesn't get the ball. 00:28:08 Speaker 6: So, again, that's on us to find ways to get the ball. 00:28:11 Speaker 7: Do you feel like you guys are close there? 00:28:15 Speaker 6: As far as? 00:28:16 Speaker 7: Getting to where you want it to be, that there's. 00:28:18 Speaker 6: A rhythm, that there's that kind of... Yeah, yeah. 00:28:20 Speaker 2: I mean, you feel it out. 00:28:21 Speaker 8: Like, I mean, I think we all feel it out there when it's clicking in the spurts. But, you know, it's just like, it's just the inconsistency of, you know, can we stack drives on drives on drives? 00:28:30 Speaker 6: And, you know, right now we haven't been able to do that. 00:28:32 Speaker 4: Did Justin express his frustration to you or is it just understood? 00:28:35 Speaker 6: I think it's just, you know, I think it's understood. 00:28:37 Speaker 8: And, you know, you know, he's an all-pro, you know, hopefully soon to be a Hall of Fame type of guy when he's done. 00:28:43 Speaker 6: Like, That's just what it is. 00:28:45 Speaker 8: You expect him to be frustrated when he doesn't get the ball in games like this, in crunch time, give him opportunity. That's understandable. 00:28:53 Speaker 5: As you get generally close to the halfway point of the season, how comfortable do you feel. 00:28:58 Speaker 3: Just learning this offense and commanding it at this point? 00:29:00 Speaker 2: I know it's still only a. 00:29:02 Speaker 6: Half season away. I feel good when I'm out there. I feel good. Every game I feel more comfortable. But again, as far as today goes, it just wasn't good enough. 00:29:13 Speaker 1: All right, so the Vikings lose for the first time this year. They're 6-1, 19-15 Detroit wins. In 2009, one of the best teams in the history of Vikings football, they won their first six, went to Pittsburgh, gave the ball away, Lamar Woodley with a scoop and score. They took their first loss in the seventh game. Likewise for the Minnesota Vikings. Speaking of turnovers, the Vikings into the game 41 and 4 under Kevin O'Connell when pushing or winning the take give well it pushed today and they lost so that's 41 and 5 now Reichardt missed for a second consecutive game granted it was from 57 but it's just so rare when he misses but at least the next one gets easier Oh, that's right. It's Monday Night Football. 00:29:58 Speaker 3: It's at home, U.S. Bank Stadium, but here come the Buffalo Bills. Yeah, you got the Buffalo Bills. Now you're facing the number one going into the weekend offense in the league. Now, defensively, they're struggling as well. 00:30:08 Speaker 1: And if your run defense is a problem, here comes Josh Allen and James Cook. 00:30:11 Speaker 3: Right, and so it's like rinse and repeat as far as that goes. And so you got to figure that out. You get tested in the same way within a week, and then after that, you got Green Bay, and then you got to go down to Mexico to play the 49ers. So we'll find out. 00:30:26 Speaker 3: We'll find out a lot more about this team over the next three weeks. When you're trying to get right, these are tough teams to do it against. These are very, very tough teams to do it against. We'll see over the next couple weeks what this offense comes up with because right now we're continuing to shoot ourselves in the foot in a lot of areas, which doesn't help, but just Man, the rhythm. It was great to see that pass to Addison because we needed to get explosive. This offense needs it. Absolutely, we need this. But then we take a shot later when he's double covered. So it's kind of a head scratcher in that regard. 00:31:04 Speaker 1: And the Vikings, they had a porous game on third down again for the second consecutive week. They were like 30% on third down. All right, well, it's not all doom and gloom, okay? The team is still 6-1. And also. 00:31:17 Speaker 1: You know, depending on what the San Francisco 49ers end up doing with the next couple of weeks, they still are in a dogfight for the best record in the NFC as we approach the midway point of the season. Great job today, man. 00:31:30 Speaker 3: Thanks. It was fun. 00:31:31 Speaker 1: That's Pete Bursich, analyst for the KFAM Minnesota Vikings Audio Network, and I'm Paul Allen. Detroit beat the Minnesota Vikings 19-15 from the Motor City. That's the Vikings postgame report.
