This week's Vikings game made me question why I watch the NFL every week.

Final: Minnesota Vikings 3 Las Vegas Raiders 0
Minnesota:
QB:
N. Mullens 9/13 83 yds 86.4 rtg
J. Dobbs 10/23 63 yds 50.8 rtg
RB:
A. Mattison 10 car 66 yds 6.6 avg 16 long
T. Chandler 12 car 35 yds 2.9 avg 7 long
WR:
TJ Hockenson 5 rec 53 yds 10.6 avg 26 long
J. Jefferson 2 rec 27 yds 13.5 avg 15 long
J. Addison 2 rec 27 yds 13.5 avg 20 long
KJ Osborn 4 rec 15 yds 3.8 avg 12 long
J. Nailor 2 rec 13 yds 6.5 avg 9 long
DEF:
I. Pace Jr 1 INT 1 sack
M. Blackmon 1 fumble recovery
J. Ward 1 fumble recovery
DJ Wonnum 1 sack
H. Phillips 1 sack
T. Dye 1 sack
K:
G. Joseph 1/2 FG (36)

Game Summary:
This is not going to be very long. The Vikings offense sucked all day long. Josh Dobbs is very obviously not the QB he was 4 weeks ago. The only time the offense had any semblance of production is when Nick Mullens was put in at QB in the 4th quarter. Both teams were scoreless up to this point. Mullens orchestrated a drive that ended close to the redzone and made it possible for Greg Joseph to hit the 36 yard field goal to win the game for the Vikings. Well, kinda. There was still 2 minutes left. Vegas tried to drive down but O'Connell was picked off by Ivan Pace Jr to basically seal the game for the Vikings.
I highly doubt we will ever see Dobbs play in a Vikings uniform again.

NFC North Update
With the Vikings win and a few good losses yesterday, Minnesota remains in 2nd in the NFC North and the 6th seed in the playoffs. Since Detroit lost to Chicago yesterday, it also means that if Minnesota wins out they would be NFC North Champions. If the Vikings lose a game other then the Lions/Packers games and Detroit loses one as well, Minnesota is still in play for the division title. Right now its win as many games as you can with this depleted roster. 

Injury Report
So many guys got injured today.
Star WR Justin Jefferson returned from his hamstring injury today, only to leave the game in the 1st quarter with a chest injury. He was sent to the hospital as a precaution, but later joined the team immediately following the game. I would expect that he will play next week.
OL Brian O'Neill left the game in the 2nd quarter with an ankle injury. His status for the next week is unknown.
RB Alexander Mattison left the game in the 3rd quarter with an unknown injury. His status is also unknown.

Up Next
The Vikings now travel to Cincinnati next Saturday to play the Bengals. Kickoff is at 12 PM CT on NFL Network.
