Jets vs Vikings Preview
The Minnesota Vikings (9-2) and New York Jets (7-4) meet in a clash of surprise teams on Sunday.
Minnesota beat the New England Patriots 33-26 on Thanksgiving Day, and the Vikings bounced back from an embarrassing 40-3 loss to the Dallas Cowboys the week before. Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell wants to see things trending upward in the race for the NFC’s top seed.
“As I told our team [Wednesday] the best teams in the league I believe improve during stretches like this. Three home games in a row leading into December … and that’s when you want to play your best football,” O’Connell said via the Star Tribune. “You want to feel like you’ve kind of identified the strengths of your team and played into those, while also trying to also improve on areas.”
The Jets come into Sunday’s game fresh off of a 31-10 rout of the Chicago Bears, and New York bounced back from a 10-3 loss to the Patriots. Jets quarterback Mike White picked apart the Bears secondary, and the Vikings only had one game of film on him to study. Meanwhile, Jets head coach Robert Saleh had to put out the fire of a quarterback controversy in the Big Apple.
“It’s exactly what I talked about last week in my press conference,” Saleh said via ESPN. “It’s a week-to-week deal. The full intent is to get Zach ready to play football again. I’ll make that decision when I’m ready. While we’re going through this process, it’s Mike White’s opportunity to take advantage of every last play he gets.
“I’m going to leave it at that. We’re going to figure it out as we go.”
Minnesota hasn’t been great on offense, giving up 26 or more points in each of the past three games against quarterbacks named Mac Jones, Dak Prescott, and Josh Allen. The Vikings, however, turn the moxie on when it’s a one-score game — an 8-0 record in those scenarios.
This Sunday, the Vikings offense will just have to solve the Jets’ defense, one of the best in the league. The Jets allow 17.8 points and 308.8 yards per game.
Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins will look to continue his strong connection with wide receiver Justin Jefferson, but the veteran quarterback doesn’t consider things automatic based on the team’s success thus far.
“I never think about future weeks, or really can’t afford to look in the rearview mirror either. It’s got to be all about this week and getting a win,” Cousins said via WCCO. “There are many teams who at this stage of the game are hovering around .500, and then they end up playing for the Super Bowl, so you understand how this league will beat you up and go back and forth.”
