00:00Sunday night football in Minneapolis between the Vikings and the Colts of

00:07course Indianapolis a huge story getting ready for the week 9 Sunday slate Shane

00:12Steichen the head man in Indy making the call benching fourth overall pick from

00:172023 Anthony Richardson in favor of the near 40 year old quarterback in Joe

00:23Flacco and DRS I thought that would mean we would see a lot of offense on Sunday

00:29night that Flacco would be ripping and rearing back there I was incorrect

00:33Indianapolis did not score a single offensive touchdown a scoop and score

00:37and a return on a fumble was the only touchdown the only scoring we saw in the

00:43opening half but Sam Donald overcoming the turnovers he threw two INT's did

00:49have that strip sack on a questionable sack when he was banged right in the

00:53head with an arm across the helmet regardless the Vikings overcome the

00:58three turnovers and Sam Donald throws three touchdowns in the second half at

01:02the Vikings get back into the win column improving to 6 and 2 21 to 13 over the

01:08Colts Minnesota covers as a five and a half point home favorite you had some

01:12tremendous plays out of Sam Donald then some tremendously bad plays but as long

01:16as that defense under Brian Flores was absolutely click and didn't give up an

01:19offensive touchdown yesterday you can lean on that because Darnold if you just

01:22look at 24 30 excuse me 28 of 34 for 290 you love that three touchdown

01:27passes but the two interceptions bad and also the fumble that he took in the

01:30pocket which was really bad as well still passed a rating of 107 you'll live

01:34with that out of Sam Donald who theoretically is your backup quarterback

01:37they improved the 6 and 2 but also the question marks coming up on the Colts

01:40like Anthony Richardson wouldn't made a difference in that game overall but

01:44Flacco didn't look his best three sacks all that last drive I believe for 20

01:49total yards his QBR rating though which is stacked out of 100 was 14.6 this

01:54wasn't the gun-slinging Joe Flacco that we're used to seeing in the past letting

01:57it rip down field maybe that's a lot to do with Brian Flores disguising those

02:01defenses and certainly bringing the heat on him Jonathan Taylor pedestrian 13

02:04carries for 48 yards big fumble to start out that game maybe that game would have

02:08got off on a different trajectory where you might have had a double-digit lead

02:11for the Colts to be able to hold on but no excuses for the Colts you're up a

02:14touchdown at the break you should be able to close that game out but the

02:17offense really responded for the Minnesota Vikings and that was back to

02:20Justin Jefferson the best wide receiver in football 7 for 137 an average of

02:2419.6 yards the guys open every single play just get him the football solid

02:29win for the Minnesota Vikings I'm not in the gutter for the Colts just yet

02:32because they're still in that divisional race but it's apparently looking like

02:35they're gonna start Joe Flacco next week as well
