Hey, everybody, welcome to another episode here of Purple Insider, Matthew Collar here.

And there's a lot to talk about this evening, a award for the quarterback, a very long injury report.

It won't fit on my screen.

It's so long that the Vikings put out,

but I want to talk about which injuries you should have your eyes on for the Minnesota Vikings

and which ones are probably not as big of a deal based on what we heard from Kevin O'Connell.

Today also want to bring you some of

O'Connell's comments, some of J.J. McCarthy's comments, and of course your questions. And

later on in the show, Robert Mays from the athletic football show. And I ask Robert to play a game

with me. It's either, yeah, yeah, I think it's a yeah, dog or nah, man. So I give him a bunch of

statements. Some are a little bit aggressive. And he has to say, yeah, dog or nah, man. And answer

him that way. So that's coming up a little bit later on the show. But I do want to start with

JJ McCarthy, NFC offensive player of the week in his first game.

Don't ask about the first half of the game. It was the final result in the fourth quarter that

mattered the most. And of course, naturally, I saw a lot of people talking about today. How can

he deserve this? It was really just one quarter and all that sort of stuff.

And there is a part that we have to acknowledge that your team doesn't get extra points for

NFC player of the week awards. So if other teams are unhappy that it wasn't their guy and fans

or media or whatever, there's no point system.

You don't get a tiebreaker.

I know it's complicated the NFL's tiebreaker system, but you don't actually get tiebreaker

points based on your NFC offensive player of the week.
