Hey, everybody, welcome into another postgame show here on Purple Insider, presented by

Fandul, Matthew Collar, Dane Mizatani, the Pioneer Press, inside U.S. Bank Stadium following

the Vikings' complete blowout of the Washington commanders who flew here for that.

The commanders put together a pretty sorry performance against this team,

but the story of the day, J.J. McCarthy, getting some confidence back, playing more simple,

playing more fast, delivering a lot of very good

throws, three touchdown passes, all to tight ends today for the Vikings and on the defensive

side, Jaden Daniels' return went about as badly as he could have ever asked it to go,

ended up not being able to finish the game due to injury and also just playing really, really poorly.

And so that's really the main question where we start off, Dane, is this type of showing from

J.J. McCarthy, which was really what we expected the Minnesota Vikings to look like this year.

We thought, okay, they should be able to run the football behind a stout offensive line.

They did that like crazy today.

They should be able to get J.J. McCarthy to just deliver in a handful of moments to open wide receivers.

It shouldn't be that complicated.

They can draw it up.

They've got the players for it.

And then the defense should do the rest.

And Will Reichard can't forget he made another

field goal today that everybody else should be able to support McCarthy and he should end up

with stat lines like he did today, where he ends up with 151 passing yards and only having

to throw 23 passes in a complete blowout win. Now, I don't think it would be right to declare that the last six games did not count, didn't see them.
