The Vikings are one of the hottest teams in the NFL and this week they will be facing off against a Commanders team coming into the game with questions on and off the field. The one thing that Washington isn’t questioning, though, is the offense that has come back to life with quarterback Taylor Heinicke under center. The spark of Heinicke has given this team life and now they are on a three-game winning streak heading into the matchup with the Vikings.
Minnesota is going to need to break that confidence and to do that they are going to need to shut down the young QB. The Commanders’ offensive line still has problems handling pressure and the Vikings are good at sending it so that’s one way to get this Commanders team off their game. Another is going to be keeping the pressure on the Commanders by putting up points early and often in order to force them to abandon their running game and throw against a talented Viking secondary.
If they are able to do that then they will win this game and help the Cowboys in the process.
There may not be Cowboys football this week, but we can root for these teams to help Dallas’s NFC East race.
