Vikings’ latest victory against Cardinals conjures thoughts of 2022 playoff team

New York Times

However, the Cardinals’ creative rushes pierced the Vikings’ calls on Sunday as they sacked Darnold three times on third down in the first half alone. “You watch tape all week,” Brandel said, “and sometimes they might do something different that you haven’t really seen.” Minnesota’s lack of success left key contributors marinating in frustration.
