Game News
Derwin James and Alohi Gilman collided in the end zone covering those two crossing routes. That's how Tyler Conklin got so open. Touchdown Vikings.
Gruden: "Obviously dealing with the Shanahans was something that they did not want to do. I don't think that they could stomach having Kirk Cousins be successful for Kyle Shanahan… and I think there was still some hope that we could re-sign him." Kirk talk around 49:00 mark.

Sometimes football doesn't have to be that hard: If you have talents like Justin Jefferson, get them the ball. The #Vikings left LA as winners because they, at last, found Jefferson and Adam Thielen in must-have moments. My game story from SoFi Stadium: startribune.com/vikings-charge…
Irresponsible of Alexander Mattison to entice the Vikings into more checkdowns on second and long
#Vikings OL Dakota Dozier has been released from the hospital after a bout with COVID-19, source said. Dozier, who is fully vaccinated, was admitted Tuesday night after experiencing breathing issues. I'm told he's feeling much better.
How many linebackers are better in pass coverage than Eric Kendricks?
#Vikings take a 6-3 lead on Greg Joseph's FG.
Camryn Bynum is the first player since LB A.J. Johnson (DEN) in 2018 to record an INT and sack in their first two career starts.
Dede Westbrook with a 45-yard punt return to give the Vikings the ball on the Chargers' 28. It's crazy how the Chargers have been so mad on special teams for so long. And that's coming from someone who has watched the Vikings every Sunday for years.
Mike Zimmer: "As I told the team, it takes a lot of courage to fight through adversity when everybody's shooting arrows at you."
Vikings inactives for today's game in LA against the Chargers: QB Kellen Mond WR Ihmir Smith-Marsette Anthony Barr (knee) Bashaud Breeland, who was listed as questionable due to a groin injury, is playing.
Blake Lynch starts in place of Anthony Barr as the #Vikings open in base.
Bashaud Breeland is playing, which is big. Kris Boyd was awful last week. twitter.com/Vikings/status…
Cam Dantzler is being looked at in the injury tent. The Vikings can't afford many more injuries at cornerback with Patrick Peterson already out and Bashaud Breeland playing through a groin injury.
Patrick Jones is playing wild with those gap assignments
Despite the small inactives list for them this week, the Vikings will have a lengthy list of absences for the Sunday game against the Chargers.
At the time this article was published, Minnesota had five players on the COVID-19/Reserve list. Starters S Harrison Smith and CÂ Garrett Bradbury, both of whom still reside on the list, are expected to miss Week 10.
Los Angeles is also dealing with some missing players. Here is the full inactives list for both teams heading into the Sunday afternoon matchup

Chargers quarterback Justin Herbert and running back Austin Ekeler connected for a touchdown to take a 17-13 lead against the Vikings in the third quarter.
Herbert is the fourth player in history to reach 50 touchdown passes within the first 24 games of his career. Additionally, he is also the fourth-youngest player ever to achieve the accolade.
At 26, Ekeler is the youngest running back to reach 20 receiving touchdowns in the common draft era, since 1970.

Larry Rountree III told me over the summer when he would score his first touchdown, his dance would be "live." Yes, @LRountreeIII, as someone who worked in dance, that was live.
