| 0:00.0 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fandul. |
| 0:10.8 | Matthew Collar here, as always. |
| 0:12.6 | And we will get to my hardcore breakdown with Andrew Kramer, the Star Tribune, in just one second, but want to give you the official injury report before we get |
| 0:22.8 | into that conversation. So Christian Derisaw and Brian O'Neill both questionable. That will be |
| 0:28.7 | something to watch big time before the game. We know the struggles that the Vikings have had with |

| 1:32.5 | Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode of Purple Insider presented by Fanduel, Matthew Collar, |
| 1:38.4 | here, along with Andrew Kramer of the Star Tribune for our weekly hardcore breakdown of Vikings and Detroit Lions. Let's start with the bigger |
| 1:48.1 | picture here of these two franchises, Andrew. It's very interesting how much Detroit has had the number |
