After demolishing the Atlanta Falcons by 21 points on Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings improved to 11-2 on the season, and are in the midst of a race for the NFC’s top seed behind the Detroit Lions.
With a 12-1 record, the Lions have received all the national media attention this year, and rightly so. But after his team’s dominant win this weekend, Vikings cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. shared with NFL Media’s Tom Pelissero how he wants people to start talking more on the advance of the Vikings.
“You all need to start talking about us. We’ve had enough of the Detroit talk. We’re going to make it happen.” [Week 18] game eventually, but for now, [we’re] I’m just focusing on every Sunday and we’ll see them soon. But for now, let’s talk about the Vikings because we’re only one right now. »
With the way things have gone so far this season, the Week 18 game in Detroit between the Lions and Vikings has the chance to be a huge game with huge stakes.
Not only could the contest potentially determine the winner of the NFC North, but it could also determine which team gets home-field advantage and a first-round bye in the 2024 playoffs.
In Week 7, Detroit sneaked out of Minnesota with a two-point victory, and one can imagine that every player in the Vikings locker room will be looking to avenge that loss in Week 18, especially since They can do it inside. Lions Stadium.
For now, we can all agree that Murphy is right. Minnesota deserves a lot more recognition for what it has managed to accomplish so far this season.
There are times when Vikings probably like to go unnoticed, but like most people, they also like to receive praise for their accomplishments.
Minnesota just dominated a division leader by 21 points on Sunday, and they are now tied for the second-best record in the entire NFL. People might have slept on the Vikings heading into this weekend, but Sunday’s performance should have served as a wake-up call.
