Postgame show: Vikings blow a great defensive performance

Join us on the postgame show as we break down the Vikings brutal loss to the Bears

The Minnesota Vikings couldn’t find a way to pull out a very important win over the Chicago Bears, losing by a score of 12-10.

The game was frustrating on many levels. The defense only allowed 317 total yards but came through when the Bears were driving, forcing five field goal attempts and didn’t allow a touchdown at all during the game, including the Bears’ two trips to the red zone.

Where did everything go wrong? For starters, Josh Dobbs throwing four interceptions was a major factor. The Vikings couldn’t do much of anything on offense, not getting a touchdown or sustained success on offense.

What do we make of the disaster that was the Vikings’ performance? They now sit 2.5 games behind the Detroit Lions and are going to have a massive climb to have a shot at winning the NFC North.

We are here to break it all down starting at the two-minute warning on the Vikings 1st & SKOL YouTube channel.

Kirk Cousins’ Offer Rejected: The Real Forno Show

On the latest episode of The Real Forno Show, managing editor Tyler Forness breaks down the Vikings’ top needs and Kirk Cousins’ contract.

The Minnesota Vikings have done a lot so far in free agency. They filled multiple holes across both the offense and defense.

Tight end Josh Oliver, edge rusher Marcus Davenport and cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. are the biggest additions that the Vikings made and they filled multiple holes that the roster had. Where does the roster sit currently? Tyler Forness and producer Dave will be breaking down Forness’ biggest needs after the first wave of free agency.

Kirk Cousins also was told no to a contract extension offer that would have guaranteed both 2024 and 2025. The Vikings wanted flexibility and guaranteeing two more seasons to Cousins takes that away.
