And this is a great night to be here.

And this is a great night to be here listening to us because not so much of an enjoyable Monday night football contest.

There's been a lot of games where I felt like, man, you know, I want to watch the game and, you know, on the other screen where my eyes are bouncing back and forth.

But today is not one of them, Jacoby Brissette playing.

Mani, how about, how about that question?

We'll start with you.

We'll get Murph in here in just a second.

Start with you on this.

The question about expectations, how much can one game and one result for you change the expectations for the

2025 minnesota vikings i think depending on well and i think in this particular case when

you consider who the opponent was that you beat yesterday i think that can change things a lot.

You know, especially when you also consider how things kind of changed following the previous game against the Chargers, where that was a team that was kind of banged up on the

offensive side, yet Justin Herbert still torched you on defense, and it was basically

a no-show on offense.

And obviously, we know Carson Wentz wasn't nearly close, wasn't anything close to being 100%.

So, I mean, that really kind of screwed things up for you from the start.

But when you look at the opponent that you beat yesterday, the way it looked, the way that you responded offensively, when Detroit goes right down the field and scores a 40-yard touchdown on 4th and 4, the Sam LaPorter, one of the best tight ends in the league.

And I know when I saw that play, I was like, oh, this is going saw that play i was like oh this is going to be

one of those games this is going to be 38 to 10 38 to 13 something like that and McCarthy's

going to struggle um but they took the ball went right down the field and scored and responded

and tied the game and then eventually took the lead and and never relinquished the lead at that

point so um yeah i think it it changes
