Winners & Losers From Vikings DOMINANT 34-7 Win Over the Texans 

Blake Brandel needs to be near the top of the list. He’s gonna be a Pro Bowler if he keeps this up. Vikings fans have desperately craved great guard play for years. It’s great to see.

As SOON as they showed the graphic of CJ and his 267 straight passes without a pick, 2 plays later he threw one and I CALLED IT. It was glorious.

I think Gruiger-Hill just earned himself some more in-game reps. Dude balled-out!

I’ve been a fan since 1967. This is the most balanced team I’ve seen yet. Hopes are high. Next week G.B.

The tone in the refs voice after all those penalties on the Texans "And it's still third down." made me laugh.

Not only are the Vikes 3-0. They are absolutely crushing everyone. Not only that, 2 of those teams are considered the best in the NFL, and the Vikes are just demolishing everyone in their path. SKOL

Sam Darnold became the fourth quarterback in Vikings history to start a season 3-0, joining Hall of Famer Fran Tarkenton, Daunte Culpepper and HOFer Brett Favre.

Oh my goshhhhh !! Never would have imagined I’d make it to your winners list!! I was at the game & let me tell you…we were screaming & cheering our hearts out. It was so loud I couldn’t hear my own thoughts. I had to literally yell at my friend if I ever wanted to say anything to her. It was AMAZING!!!!!!! Woooohooooooooo! The 4 penalties in a row for the Texans…the refs were exhausted. Lol Oh & best part…it’s my birthday tomorrow. What a phenomenal early gift. And then met Luka Garza after the game & took a pic. 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻💜💜💜💜

Sam Darnold is the current front runner for NFL MVP.

What made me more excited was how enthused Jefferson was on the sidelines at the end of the game! You can tell how happy he is to be on this team

Press already starting to re-assess that Giants victory, they have been 2-0 since we thrashed them. Looks like a legit good victory now. ALSO: Ryan Clark said on X that Darnold is an MVP candidate! He didn't even pick us to win this one.

SKOL to 3-0!!! Bring on the greasy grimey green bay packers

I think B-Flo should be at the top of this list, but I'm just proud of the boys. Skol!

It's time I've been waiting since January 1977, been a fan since 1967, My Heart has been broken 4 times! But I won't stop rooting for my beloved Minnesota Vikings ever!!!!!!! Skol!!!!!!!!!!!

Like Andy always says.... a team with nothing to lose is a dangerous team

Meanwhile Mike Zimmer defense is getting destroyed again. I love it

Super Bowl Bound! This team has Great Chemistry!

We can only get better. Jordan Addison, TJ Hock, & Ivan Pace will be back in the lineup. Jalen Nailor is a baller

This is the O-line that we have always asked for. They are true MVPs on the offensive side of the ball.

Talking with my BFF after the game, this is a different team we’ve not seen before. 45 year fans here! SKOL!

Diggs 0-2 Against the Vikings Jefferson 2-0 Against Digg’s Teams!

Let’s go Vikings!!!!

Slinging Sam is just sitting in the pocket just slicing it down the field🤣

The Vikings defense is improving each week as they're a force to reckon with 🎉😮😊!

I was at the game, and holy crap was it loud! I remember it got louder and louder after each of those false starts! I also remember seeing Shawn Hochuli on the jumbotron after the 3rd false start with the face of "are you kidding me, ANOTHER one?!"

If Van Gankiel keeps playing at this pace he should be 1st team all pro. Next to Warner thus far no one has been .ore dominate. Not just rushing but also dropping into coverage.

This is feeling legit. Defense beserking. Offense hummin'. Kicker hit from 58. Gotta love it.

Our offense is good…but really this is about the deep and exceptional defense…elite at this point…the type of D that is capable in playoffs

I hope they keep ranking us last on the division so we can play with the fire 🔥 like we are right now!

This team seems special.

A different energy with this team.. Straight dominating fools.

the Minnesota Vikings dominated the Houston Texans 34-7 Sam Darnold is playing like MVP right now!!!

SKOL also, this defense brings me to tears. I've never teared up. I've been watching the Vikings play since I was 6 years old and today I really can't stop crying

Minus the catch-fumble ruling, I thought that it was a rare well-officiated game. SKOL!

Gotta admit on both sides of the ball are stepping up, i havent seen that, honestly, the 70's

I was at the game. Energy was off the charts. Best defense in the league, exciting and efficient offense and the loudest most passionate fans in the entire league. We are legit this year guys

Good lists Andy! On the plus side, it appeared to me that Danielle Hunter only beat Darrisaw/O'Neill once...maybe twice. His best pass rushes came when he was moved inside against Bradbury/Ingram/Brandel. So major props to Darrisaw & O'Neill for handling a superstar D-lineman! On the negative side...in addition to Bradbury & O'Neill (poor pass pro & the run blocking fell off late in 2nds & later in 2nd half..fatigue?), I also have some concerns re CB tackling 1-on-1 with ball carrier. But, as I said in previously, this year has had the best full-team efforts for the Vikes I have seen in many years, and the coaching staff have really hit their stride!

Can we just talk about that thumbnail of Jesus Darnold? I’d like to think he had the confidence to make it knowing that Darnold would ball out.

Wonder what those "NFL Experts" are thinking now? 🤔

Sign Flo at all cost

We gotta keep this energy purple family skolllllll💜💜💜

The bank was rocking the whole game. Was amazing

If the Super Bowl were next Sunday, I’d put my paycheck on the Vikings. Hopefully it comes full circle in January, SKOL 🙏

I just realized that Dallas Turner didn't play today....

Pay Brian Flores whatever money he wants!!!

Underrated and undefeated Jerome’s Skol baby

We finally get a dub with our throwbacks. 😊

great to finally have a well coached team. the texans defense was playing decent but oconeell had an answer for everything. Flores A+ AGAIN

Vikings seem to be the strongest team right now. They also are not nearly full strength.

I know you are not a big Ryan wright fan, but he punted well today

Give flores a bag keep him for future

I agree on Powell. He is clutch on 3rd down and just plays good ball

I've been saying this is real talented. Vikings will win the first 5 games. They will the North division & make the playoffs

I really thought this was gonna be a "little" closer, but OMG!! Let's see how high the Vikings are ranked in the power rankings.

SKOL!! 1st time at the Purple Palace and it was loud!!

If we win in Green Bay, we’re Super Bowl contenders.

Seen that cowboys kicker hit that 65 yarder today lol looks like he could have hit from fricken 70+

Extend the entire coaching staff.

Glad Darnolds wasnt injured. We still need a 2nd good quarterback if Darnold goes down. Not sure of Nick Mullens.

I was at the game, it was the loudest all day when Sam walked out of the blue tent jumping around. Love Mericas Quarterback

What an awesome freaking defense! I knew Sam would do well with McConnel! SKOL!

I stand corrected. They put that foot down

Yes, the catch, strip -fumble called a dropped pass confuses me too. If that had been in the end zone, all the player has to do to “catch “ the ball is catch it, and get two feet down, but apparently when it’s in the middle of the field, you have to catch it, get 2 feet down and make a “football move” (and that’s not what the rule book even says?)

Kirk would have been a mess in a game like this. The pressure would have rattled him.

Great start!!

I had so much fun at this game!!!

This is the most KOC has won by since he was hired! I think this is great improvement and I think he learned he can’t take the foot off the gas ever until there’s not enough time left.

Jonathan "The Grizzly" Greenard

Correct me if I'm wrong, but have the Vikings ever trailed so far this season? If not, I can't remember the last time they started three games without trailing. 1998, maybe.

They told me not to hate on Diggs and I said OK!No Diggs no problem!😆😆😆😁😁

Best intro on RU-vid

Losers: the gjallarhorn. Missed its big opening moment

I know the Texans are considered one of "best" teams in the league but they didn't look good the first two weeks against Colts and Bears, they barely won those games. I'm not surprised that they got blown out by our Vikings.

How about D Hunter's hit on Darnold? Pretty grimey if you ask me. I mean the guy we acquired for hunter could've blasted stroud but he took it easy on him...

Why is nobody talking about the trick play! KOC is INSANE 😂

Winners- All of us believes from the start Looosssers- All the Haters!!

Can some just explain to me how the person who snaps the ball , get a false start … twice … anyyyyyone … but you should have that called … but yes …that catch was absolutely a fumble, they got bailed out

Let's go!!!!! SKOL

Feel good for Sam

This was awesome!! We almost 1,2,3 them in the beginning if they counted that fumble. Not complaining! Our defense is lookin BEAST!!!! Sam Darnold lookin more comfortable every game! That worrisome hit by hunter wasn't fun but he shook it off a play later! Greenard!! Horrible harry wasn't so horrible either! Lookin good! Just think we will be getting Addison and Hockinson back right when we need them. We always need them but its gonna be nice to have them back! 3-0 start to the season!! Let's go!! SKOL!!!!!!!!

biggest winner is our fans honestly. wow were they LOUDDD

Jordan Love might prolong healing when he sees the Defense.

Too bad Mercury Morris wont be around to see the Viks go undefeated 😢

@purpleforthewin keep up the good work, sir - love your realist “non biased” diplomatic yet purple blood analysis- we are witnessing the culmination of a Vikings team progressing into a well coached and well oiled machine with newcomers inspired and hitting the ground running … this is why we hired KOC - a true players coach and elite offensive mind who represents and inspires his family / team to play with passion and as a unit - 5/11 penalties show a disciplined crew vs a very good Texans team - yes the crowd played a part but good teams overcome and can play well on road - the defense reminds me of the (hate to say it) Zimmers former top 10 defense that may allowed some yards but showed up where it counts - turnovers making plays and preventing valuable points on the board - except this unique defense is way better !!! Utilizing respect by the coaches bringing in valuable pieces to the scheme and respect to the organization whos notorious for treating their players as they should with amazing staff training facilities and genuine respect for the game only bringing in the right personnel and scouting under the radar players giving them a chance to show their strengths…

It seems like a weekly occurrence to see Ingram on the losers list😂

If that ball would have been “caught” in the end zone it would have resulted in a touchdown. So how could that not be ruled fumble

Where can i sign the petition to make these uniforms permanent?

Darnold's level of play makes this a playoff team.

What they gotta say now!?

Go Vikes!😎

The practice field red vest both our Backers that saw a good CJ and had to play flag football in practice got thier revenge

Minnesota turns Red and Vikings win Super Bowl👊

Speedy MF Nailor!! Also sign BFlo.

It’s been a lot of years since the Vikings won multiple games by more than one score.

All the haircuts are choking on their BS preseason predictions right now.

Skol! 🎉

SKOL🎉

Be careful with division games. They're going to try to hurt Darnold.

FTW, Skol or nothing. W’s all we care about

I said 11-6 on the season I change my mind 13-4
