Minnesota Vikings vs. Carolina Panthers Game Highlights | NFL 2023 Week 4 

Vikings gameplan was pure genius. By getting the turnnovers out of the way in the first half. It almost guarantees that the Vikings will get nothing but TDs in the Second Half. Brazen but Brilliant.

Harrison Smith was the MVP of the match, an absurd defender

Awesome game by Harrison smith. Criminally underrated. 3 sacks, 1 forced fumble. 14 tackles not 12** (my bad) Insane.

Kirk sprinting and lowering the shoulder to try and save that pick 6 is just freaking awesome

Harry with three sacks. The man is a BEAST. Davenport should have been on the field the first three games (I know injury) but he's clearly a difference maker.

Another week as a Vikings fan, another heart attack.

New Vikings identity: mininum 2 turnovers per-game

That was brave as Hell of Cousins to try and get the tackle on Franklin's INT TD run. How many QB's would do that?? Respect.

Gotta feel bad for Kirk, imagine throwing a 99 yard pick-6 then getting blown up all in the same play😭

The Vikings defense saved this game!

Timestamps: 0:42 - Panthers 99 yard pick six 2:21 - Panthers 26 yard field goal 2:56 - Vikings touchdown #1 5:13 Panthers 56 yard field goal 6:24 - Vikings fumble recovery touchdown 7:19 Vikings touchdown #2

The cornerback at @0:46 sprinted 75 yards past everyone else to provide the touchdown saving block for his teammate 💪🏽💯

Its criminal how underrated Harrison Smith has been in his career

I don’t know why people say Harrison smith lost a step, dude is literally the heart in soul of this defense

Bryce actually played nice, dude got sacked 5 times and had no help tho, Playcalling was horrible, everyone putting all the blame on him, its his supporting cast that isn’t helping him in anyway, u draft a rookie QB, doesn’t mean he’s gonna call the plays, catch the ball, and protect himself for the team🤦🏽‍♂️🤦🏽‍♂️

That TD throw to JJ in the third was a great throw and catch!

Forced fumbles being returned for touchdowns are another reason why I love the defensive side of the ball 🏈

I think the problem with our panthers offense is that Bryce is a rookie, and is still learning the ropes, and our offense I’ve linemen can’t protect him. Young being young(haha) isn’t a bad thing, he is deadly accurate when given time. What our team needs to beat out of him is his habit of worrying about not being sacked constantly other than eyes being on the field. Now don’t get me wrong, our offensive linemen need to do their job and protect their QB, but Young is used to have all the time in the world back in college since he was in Alabama. Plus the fact that we pulled a load of star playmakers into the team all at once, there’s no telling what who’s ego is bumping into the others. Yet again, we DID have a full team wipeout and reconstruction since last year, so I don’t think we are going to do much until next year. It’s actually kind of funny the recurring theme with us black cats, we’ve had a bad offense and a great/good/decent defense.

those 2 viking picks were hilarious

The Vikings do what they do best and give their fans heart attacks. They get their first win.

Harry with 3 sacks is amazing! Best safety in Vikings history and future HOF

Man it was not pretty but the Vikings pulled it out. It seems like we've at least ironed out a few minor issues. Still would love to see Risner out there because when Cousins has time to throw we get results. Harrison Smith MVP and Akers/Maddison did a really good job too. I have a good feeling we can turn this season around. SKOL VIKES. Also, that 99 yard pick 6, Cousins low key has the jets, why doesn't he try running more?!

A win is a Win, they got their first of the yr! Nice win vikings

Cousins got violated twice in the same play so hard 😂

Should of played Andy Dalton

You know if the Vikings can eliminate their turn overs wow, this team would be one the best in the NFL.

D'Shawn Jamison takes out 2 guys on the interception TD return. Hustles all the way and even gets a lick on Cousins. MVP, MVP!!!

Kirk Cousins returning to his Redskin form with a 99 yard pix six!!!

It's kind of strange seeing Thielen in a different uniform.

Cousins/MIN get their first win of the season. Jefferson just continues to be a beast and he's going to break all kind of NFL records. Next up is KC. Congrats on the win MIN 👍.

That blocking on the pick 6 was insane

Excellent play calling by MIN's Def Coordinator to blitz Harrison Smith, good execution.

Hate judging QBs so early but given how Stroud and Richardson are playing, Carolina may already be regretting picking Bryce Young. I haven't seen him make any explosive pass play in 3 games so far..not even 1. He is getting hit a lot and not getting the ball out fast enough.

As a Carolina Panthers fan we need more weapons on both sides of the field

That clock management at the end of the half was inexcusable 😡

Harrison Smith: Hold my beer

Vikings in the first half: turnover festival Vikings in the second half: touchdown festival

Vikings saved their season. They can never make it easy.

Cousin better make a appointment with that chiropractor from Netflix after that attempted tackle lol

29’s lead block on the pick 6 was nuts

As a Panthers fan and Carolina native.... ...that was tough to watch. Welcome to 0-4, boys. 😮‍💨

I owe Marcus Davenport an apology

that block on cousins is hilarious lmao

I love Theilen and I wished he took the pay cut to end his career in Minnesota but watching him complain about the final throw away play to the refs was priceless.

Dave Tepper is what is wrong with this team. There have been so many ignorant moves... Looks like CJ is balling out while Bryce struggles and letting Christian go that was just brilliant 😊

Kirk Cousins chasing ole boy after the pick 6 and just getting tossed out of the way made me literally laugh out loud i need that today thanks kirk💪🤣🤣

Any game with a Pick Six is a great game.

Andy Dalton is the only reason I watched this game

As an Ohio State fan, how in the tarnation did Carolina not pick CJ Stroud

7:58 Davenport getting the sack and having blood on his helmet 😂 dudes a beast

Despite our turnovers and Adam having a decent game against his former team, we still got the W! Now keep it rolling for the Chiefs next week!!!

Gotta give Cousins credit on that pick 6, he made 100% effort. He failed, but he hung in there.

We need a petition to get Tepper sell the team because this is getting ugly for Carolina.

That was a great day for the Vikes! 🇮🇸

Justin Jefferson is a BEAST #18

If Davenport can stay healthy and having him and hunter on the field at the same time is gonna be a problem for offensive lines.

Bryce young thinks hes got all day to wait in the pocket

Shoutout to the panters for letting Christian McCaffery go lol

Franklin waiting on that pick in order to get a running start was beautiful

What was that defence I just watched? Surely it wasn’t from the Vikings?! Whatever happened on the training field this week…please do it all over again 👏🏻

Do Panthers have one of the worst offenses of all time? Serious question

Kirk Cousins is faster than I thought he was on that interception, he almost caught a wide receiver in full stride!...

SKOL!!!! Traveled from South FL to watch this game.l! What a game to go see! Was nervous after that pick 6 early but I had faith the whole time! Stadium was packed with Vikings fans almost more than Panthers. Felt like a Vikings home game when they were scoring

We should bounce back next Sunday

The Panthers have now lost 54 straight games when they have trailed in the 4th quarter.

The hit on cousins tho 👌

Carolina wants the #1 draft pick next year

We drafted the wrong QB

Carolina may have found something in Sam Franklin. They should trade him! 😂

The hitman always gets revenge 😈

That pick six from Kirk Cousins had me yelling at my tv before he even threw the ball

Great defense, Bad Young.

We could’ve won with Dalton

This was an exciting game.

So glad we got CJ Stroud!!!

Kirk cousins number one in passing yards 😁🙏

Justin Jefferson saved the Vikings today

As cards fan. This makes me appreciate Kyler Murray. Him and Bryce young rookie comparison ain’t even close. Kyler was already clowning defense rookie year, game 1. Hella undervalued

Finally Vikings won there first game

For a team that was enamored with Bryce Young, it doesn't really seem like they trust him all that much.

It's like the Vikings O-line and D-Line rotate taking weeks off

Gotdamn its hard to be a panthers fan I swear

Now we have chiefs week 5 😢

Young is solid. He actually looks like a QB....

Great game Vikings. Your defense was insane. Harrison smith the mvp fr

Way to go kwesi! Get us 6 wins so we can draft another unstartable draft pick.

Finally a win, not one of Kirk's better games😮D stepped up, and could be the play Vikes needed to have the confidence moving forward......

Kirk cousins is so lucky to have Justin Jefferson save him every week

Everyone played well except the offensive linemen. Young had absolutely no help from them.

Panthers defense actually played good and shut down JJ for the most part but that bryce has to be better at playmaking

Great game Kirk!

So who are the Bears tanking for this year by proxy?

I genuinely don’t know if Bryce will last 5 years in this league.

No one snags defeat out of the jaws of victory like the Vikings

At least Cousins got a TD at the end I was starting to think he was the only one not getting a TD lol. Good on em they needed this win.

I think the real story here is that the Panthers Offense is so bad that even with a pick-six and another interception they failed to accomplish anything. If they play like this next week it's going to be a very long game for Panthers fans. And as a Lions fan, I'm okay with that.

Bryce Young looks pretty ordinary, there are some exceptions but being a Bama QB sometimes makes everyone think he’s great, doesn’t translate much when you don’t have a stacked team

cousins can run, he was running stride for stride with that defender on the interception.

kirko was moving after that pick

NGL Panthers had us in the first half, but we came back in great fashion. Viking DAWGS: Akers Harry Davenport and Wonnum. With that said, NOW IT’S TIME TO BLOW IT AGAINST THE CHIEFS IN ROUGH FASHION NEXT WEEKEND And good luck to Adam Thielen and the Panthers whoever you guys play next hopefully you guys get your first win as well With all that said , SKOL BABY ON THAT FIRST DUB. 💜💛⛓️
