Hey, everybody, welcome into the Minnesota Vikings Postgame show here on Purple Insider,

presented by Fandul and Merry Christmas to all of you out there.

Matthew Collar here, along with Dane Mizatani, for a breakdown of one of the stranger games

I think we've ever seen in one of the more

unpredictable outcomes that I can remember.

I thought, well, you know, the defense has been playing quite well lately, but the offense

will probably struggle so much that Detroit will do just enough to get a pretty solid and

routine win here at U.S. Bank Stadium. And holy cow, was that not

the way that it played out here today? As the Minnesota Vikings defense looked like the

purple people eaters, it was a game straight out of the 70s. I thought we were in the Met for a

second there because the Vikings caused six turnovers.

Jared Goff was hit, I don't know how many times, sacked, intercepted on a brilliant

play by Harrison Smith, who put together a virtuoso type of performance today here against

the Detroit Lions, a team that had given the Vikings so many problems in the past.

And at the same time, it was as putrid of offense as you will ever see.

It made that Josh Freeman game look like a pretty solid showing.

At one point, they were in the negatives for net passing yards.

In fact, they were at that point for most of the game,

and they just barely

got above it when you factor in for sacks to, I think they ended with three total passing

yards net when you remove the sacks or when you include the sacks. So I don't think that we'll be

having a long discussion about Max Br Brosmer's future as the backup quarterback
