You're going to. Welcome inside Lambo Field, Matthew Collar, along with Dane Mizetani, the Pioneer Press, here, just outside the press box.

And we have just returned from the Minnesota Vikings lockroom and talking with

Kevin O'Connell who confirmed that it is indeed an Achilles injury for Kirk

Cousins. And Dane, I got to say this is one of the stranger feelings that I've ever had coming out of a game because they were so dominant and they won this game running away, which they have not done in a while.

And I was all prepared to talk about what an excellent

That was what we were going to talk about and then the injury tent came up and Kirk cousins went in and then the cart came out and he left and at that moment we're not sure like

what's going on with Kirk cousins and as soon as we saw the replay we knew we

Jaren Hall steps in, gets strips sacked, complete to pass on third down, but what they do next to quarterback is now up in the air completely for this franchise in the short and the long term.

So how do you want to react to this Dane?

I mean, this is, this is quite the gut punch for the entire organization that believed that they had now reached a point where they were going to compete for the playoffs and I would not have argued otherwise after this very impressive win and now it's extremely hard to see

them making something of the 2023 season.

Yeah, I think the word is devastating blow

blow for the Vikings.

Like you mentioned, this game was supposed to be us sitting here

right out to the press box in Lambo Field talking about all the things

that the Vikings did well, perhaps piling on to all the things that the Packers didn't do so well.

But in that moment when Kurt Cousins drops back to pass, kind of pulls up
