It's about time. The Minnesota Vikings finally won their first game of the 2023 NFL season. In addition, the Minnesota Twins won their first postseason series since 2004. Moreover, the Chicago Bears won for the first time in 347 days. What am I getting at? There's been a lot of firsts' lately, but I bet that the Minnesota Vikings will be making some changes that may or may not work on Sunday against the Chiefs. However, if the coaching staff thought that the team played pretty well overall, KOC might Not opt for making any changes.
I know one thing has to change and I'm pretty certain that the majority of fans would agree, that the turnovers need to be cleaned up. Part of the how for this question is that they need to tighten up the offensive line. Receivers need to hold onto the ball securely after they make the catch or take the handoff. Our offensive line needs to protect our quarterback. Kirk Cousins needs to just play his game and not let anyone decide it for him.
Alexander Mattison is going to be playing by committee with Cam Akers. If you remember, Akers did a pretty good job running the ball on a limited basis. I think once Ty Chandler is healthy, he is going to start getting in the rotation.
Big things are coming for the Vikings and I think they start getting in the flow. My father in-law asked me the other day how the Vikings will play and I said they will win 24-17. He then asked how I came up with 24 and without missing a beat I said that it was a random number I picked. So let's see if I'm even close on a confident prediction.
