MRKH was ist das? » We’ve got an NFL Saturday doubleheader for everyo

ne’s viewing pleasure this afternoon Kirk Cousins Jersey , folks, and one of the two games is of particular interest to fans of the Minnesota Vikings and their playoff hopes.Things will start out in Nashville, where the Tennessee Titans (8-6) will play host to the Washington Redskins (7-7). This is the one that Vikings fans will want to pay attention to. As we pointed out in our cheering guide for this week, the Vikings do have a scenario this week that can see them clinch a postseason spot, but it has to start with Washington losing. If the Redskins can go into Tennessee as an 11-point underdog and pull off the upset, there is no scenario under which the Vikings can clinch a playoff spot this week and we’ll have drama all the way into Week 17.This game kicks off at 3:30 PM Central and can be seen on the NFL Network. I’m sure it’s on local channels somewhere if you’re in the Nashville or DC areas.From there, we head out west to what should be a great all-AFC matchup between the Baltimore Ravens (8-6) and the Los Angeles Chargers (11-3). The Chargers Marcus Sherels Jersey , coming off of their thrilling last-second victory over the Kansas City Chiefs last Thursday, are still in a dogfight for the AFC West title, while the Ravens’ potential scenarios range all the way from winning the AFC North (if things break right) to being completely eliminated from the playoff picture (if things break wrong).The second half of the doubleheader kicks off at 7:20 PM Central, and can also be seen on the NFL Network.If you’re going to be watching these games anyway, you could just as well come and hang out with your fellow Vikings fans while you do so. Enjoy the games, ladies and gentlemen, and we’ll have more for you on the clash between the Vikings and the Lions up until kickoff. EAGAN Xavier Rhodes Jersey , Minn. (AP) — Dalvin Cook’s rush through the left side of the line for 70 yards last week was the longest gain of his professional career, an early game boost for the Minnesota Vikings in an important victory over Detroit before their bye.That was the type of big running play that has been missing in most of Minnesota’s games this year, a 22.05 mph burst that was clocked by the NFL’s Next Gen Stats as the fastest in the league in 2018.That also demonstrated what the Vikings will need more of down the stretch with a daunting schedule ahead.Cook’s return from a hamstring injury that kept him out of five games was one of the most important developments of the season.“When you go to the zoo and you want to see a white tiger and they say, ‘He’s not coming out today, you’re disappointed and you’re like, ‘That’s why I bought the ticket, to see the white tiger Mike Remmers Jersey ,” quarterback Kirk Cousins said after the Vikings beat the Lions 24-9 on Nov. 4. “That’s Dalvin. When you get him, he’s special.”Though Latavius Murray has 439 total yards and five touchdowns over the past five games, Cook’s return will be vital toward continuing the revival of a running game that ranks 28th in the league with an average of 91.7 yards per game.The Vikings (5-3-1) play at NFC North-leading Chicago (6-3) on Sunday night in a game for control of the division. That’s one of three games over the next four for the Vikings that will be on the road and outdoors in northern cities.“I do think with some of these games as it starts to get colder, it is going to be more of a factor,” coach Mike Zimmer said. “I think we’re getting better at a lot of the areas in the running game. We have to continue searching for more ways to pound the ball.”When Cook was healthy in the season opener against San Francisco, the Vikings had 116 rushing yards. They then went four straight games with fewer than 20 rushing attempts and 77 rushing yards or fewer, until Murray produced a 155-yard performance on 24 carries in a victory over Arizona on Oct. 14 .Cook and Murray combined for 120 rushing yards against the Lions. The Vikings have averaged 124 rushing yards over the past four games Riley Reiff Jersey , up from 65.8 yards per game on the ground over the first five weeks.“He has got a chance to hit home runs,” Zimmer said of Cook. “I think it was really good for him to get out there and get some game time action. When you haven’t played in six weeks and you haven’t practiced all that much, I think he will continue to get better.”The Vikings also claimed running back Ameer Abdullah last week after he was waived by the Lions. Abdullah, a second-round draft pick in 2015, only appeared in three games this year and carried the ball once. He averaged 3.8 yards per attempt in three seasons as the primary ball carrier, when he wasn’t injured, before being replaced by rookie Kerryon Johnson this season.“I’m entering a backfield with a lot of talent Latavius Murray Jersey , Dalvin, we have Latavius and all the guys who’ve been here,” Abdullah said after practice on Monday. “Just coming in today and seeing these guys welcome me the way they have has been amazing for me. It does a lot for my confidence. It does a lot for my focus.”Abdullah will also be an option as a kickoff returner.“I’m ready to work,” he said. “Anything the Vikings ask me to do, I’m willing to do just because I’m so appreciative of the opportunity.”
