Wrote a lot about "Java Jams," the Vikings' Saturday morning coffee led by defenders, and some of the key cogs making this No. 1 defense go. www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...
These unsung Vikings defenders deserve more credit for the team’s 5-0 start
Linebacker Blake Cashman, defensive tackle Jalen Redmond and cornerback Isaiah Rodgers should receive more acclaim for their roles in the NFL’s No. 1-ranked defense.

This is good stuff from Blake Cashman. Counters Saints' check before they're even set w/ double mug blitz that pits Wilson on the RB based on O-line slide forced by initial overload blitz. Wilson lands one of NFL-high 17 holds drawn on opposing offenses. Cashman bails to cover TE on opposite side

Scoggins: Kyler Murray, Justin Jefferson show how dangerous the Vikings can be
Scoggins: Kyler Murray, Justin Jefferson show how dangerous the Vikings can be
Using his arm and legs to make big plays against the Saints, Murray showed why the Vikings signed him. With Justin Jefferson back, Minnesota’s offense has a new dimension.

Vikings offense flashes its potential, takes down Saints for 5-0 start
Vikings offense flashes its potential, takes down Saints for 5-0 start
Justin Jefferson dazzled in his return to his home state, Kyler Murray delivered his best game of the season and the Vikings overcame costly turnovers to secure the win.

Kyler Murray to Justin Jefferson ... first full game together and Jefferson has 5-71-1 on 6 targets
Aaron Jones is averaging 24 touches/game at 31 years old without Jordan Mason ... fumbled another play out of bounds vs Miami, when he also dropped two passes. Workload looks like it's getting to him.
Sounds like Brian O'Neill, questionable w/ knee injury, expects to play; Darrisaw out. “I don’t know if a lot of the young guys know about how games between the Saints and Vikings have gone over the last 20 years,” O’Neill said. “There’s been some wild ones.” www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...

When Vikings defenders sat down in April, there were no reviews of basic coverages. No entry-level stuff. “This year we didn’t do any of that,” safety Josh Metellus said. “We just went straight into it.” The NFL's No. 1 scoring defense is also the second oldest www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...
Vikings have NFL’s No. 1 scoring defense. And age may be their secret weapon.
Brian Flores is using the experience of one of the league’s oldest defenses to outsmart opponents, disguise pressure and stay a step ahead of opposing offenses.

Looking deeper at a few things that stood out from Kyler Murray vs Miami: •90% adjusted comp rate + a missed late TD to Addison •the why/how on connection with Hockenson • shotgun play-action answers for Murray, who had most PA yardage by Vikings QB in 14 games www.startribune.com/minnesota-vi...
Vikings saw the Kyler Murray they need late vs. Dolphins. Can they build on it?
Murray’s 95 play-action yards vs. Miami were the most by a Vikings QB in 14 games. That and his budding trust in TE T.J. Hockenson are among the key takeaways from Sunday’s win.

New Viking Odell Beckham Jr. speaking to local media now. Said with a smile that he picked No. 9 because Justin Jefferson (No. 18) got “half his game” from OBJ.
First look at Vikings WR Odell Beckham Jr., who was issued No. 9
Asked about Jauan Jennings' lack of involvement, O'Connell: "Couple chances where maybe the rhythm and timing or just a little more detail showing up out of the group as a whole, Jauan included, [would help] but we’re not far off. Jauan is going to be a guy that’s going to make some plays for us.”
Jordan Addison dealing with hamstring strain, won't practice today per Kevin O'Connell Justin Jefferson is returning to practice. He'll be limited along with RT Brian O'Neill, who underwent imaging on injured knee after Dolphins game OBJ could play Sunday w/ injury issues at WR
