The Lions/Packers game Monday night game that had a few calls go against the Lions they may have cost them the game. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today.

The Vikings lost 16-6 Sunday afternoon in Chicago to the Bears to drop to 2-2 on the season. Chicago led 10-0 at halftime and 16-0 at the end of 3 quarters. The Vikings knocked out Bears' starting quarterback Mitchell Trubisky in the 1st quarter but backup Chase Daniel threw for 195 yards and a touchdown to lift Chicago to the win.

The Vikings rested their first-teamers and many of their 2nd-teamers in their final preseason game which turned out to be a 27-23 loss at Buffalo against the Bills.

The Vikings released veteran cornerback Bene Benwikere and receiver Jordan Taylor. Benwikere is a 27-year old veteran who spent 3 seasons with Carolina, 1 with Dallas and split last season with Oakland and Arizona. The 26-year old Taylor spend the last 2 seasons with the Denver Broncos.

The Minnesota Vikings beat the Seattle Seahawks 25-19 Sunday night at US Bank Stadium in their second of four preseason games.

Kayln Kahler talked about NFL teams' pre-game intro/hype videos in last week's Monday Morning Quarterback, naming the Vikings' video the best in the league.

The Vikings reportedly have agreed to a 4-year $36 Million contract extension with tight end Kyle Rudolph. The 29-year old has 386 catches for 3,787 yards and 41 touchdowns in 8 NFL seasons. He was selected the 2nd round of the 2011 NFL draft.

The Minnesota Vikings filled a position of need in the first round of the 2019 NFL Draft Thursday night by selecting North Carolina State center Garrett Bradbury.

The Vikings have the 18th overall pick in the first round of the NFL draft tonight. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan expects the Vikings take the best player available and won't just draft for need. The biggest need on this team is offensive line help. If the Vikings don't take an offensive lineman he feels because of the depth at defensive line and tight end they might go with one of those players.

The Minnesota Vikings released their complete 2019 schedule Wednesday night. The slate includes five prime time games.
