The Vikings make it 2 in a row with a road win in Dallas 34-26. JJ McCarthy has now had his, perhaps first, pair of back to back good games this season. We discuss his and the offensive performance along with opportunistic defense, as well as announce our offensive and defensive players of the game.

Up next, the Vikings head to New York to take on the Giants on Sunday. The Vikings are currently a 2.5 point favorite. We discuss the matchup in more detail.

We've been asking for it for some time on the Purple Pillage. For the Vikings to incorporate a short passing game to help out their porous offensive line and young QB. We finally saw it on Sunday against Washington, as the Vikings cruised to a 31-0 victory. JJ McCarthy threw for 3 touchdowns and no interceptions for a 129.2 QB rating. The defense also played well, obviously, in shutting out the Commanders. We discuss other keys and give our players of the week.

We also preview this Sunday's matchup, as the Vikings travel to Dallas to take on the Cowboys in the NBC Sunday night game. The Vikings are 5.5 point underdogs but Jake and Neil agree that if they stick to that short passing game, the defense continues to click, they can likely leave Dallas with a W. We discuss other key factors to the game as well.

The Defense and special teams played well enough to win in Seattle but the offense was horrific and continues to search for answers. Max Brosmer had a rough day but got very little support. We discuss our offensive and defensive players of the game and other keys to the Vikings loss.

Next up, the Vikings entertain Washington on Sunday at noon. The Commanders come in with a 3-9 record and are a 1.5 point favorite over the 4-8 Vikings. It's up in the air whether Jayden Daniels will be back this week. We discuss other key players for Washington as they nearly upset the Broncos on Monday night.
