Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider, presented by Fandul, Matthew Collar here, along with Andrew

Kramer, the Star Tribune, inside TCO Performance Center, the show that your favorite aggregator

loves to cut and paste. Let's jump right in to Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers.

Every week we do the hardcore breakdown. We look at the biggest matchups that will determine the

outcome of the game. And then so far in our history, we've never actually picked one wrong.

We've never picked a game wrong. So you can always trust exactly what we say here.

No.

Andrew, I think we have to start with just Carson Wentz.

There has been a whole week now spent breaking down his 20 passes and 14 completions.

And what it really means, not only to just Carson Wentz, to Kevin O'Connell, to J.J. McCarthy, et cetera, et cetera.

But why don't we just remove the noise for a minute? We'll circle back to that situation momentarily

and just talk about what we expect from Carson Wentz against a defensive line that is very nasty

for Pittsburgh, but a secondary that is very suspect. Yeah, it'll be an interesting matchup in one that I think bodes well for Carson and this

Vikings offense because Pittsburgh defense, as veteran-laden as they are, and as the talent

you mentioned on the defensive line that they've got, they've given up nearly 400 yards

in each of the first three games.

That includes a New England team, at least being able to move the ball, not score too many points on them last week. So I think in general, this is going to set up well for Carson to continue this momentum, having Dar esau back, bringing Jordan Addison back into the mix. It's going to open up things a little bit, I think, schematically with Addison back in the fold too.

So big picture wise with this Vikings offense

versus the Steelers defense, it's not going to look quite

like it did against the Bengals, because the Bengals,

I think, are the bottom tier of the NFL right now

defensively.
