The UFL this morning is announcing some team and venue relocations for the 2026 season.

Pass/run funnel defense are so good at stopping one aspect of offense that their opponents often consistently attack the weakness. Defenses much better against the run than pass: -Bucs (27th in EPA per dropback, 1st in EPA per rush) -Patriots (26th, 4th) -Raiders (28th, 7th) -Seahawks (22nd, 3rd) -Browns (20th, 2nd) And defenses much better against pass than run (these are usually the better overall groups): -Vikings (1st in EPA per dropback, 25th in EPA per rush) -Jaguars (3rd, 24th) -Chiefs (10th, 31st) -Bills (11th, 28th)

Jordan Addison's game-winner for the @Vikings was as clutch as it gets @insidetheNFL Week 5 Mic'd Up on X

Happy Birthday, @TakiTaimani!

𝗧𝗥𝗘𝗡𝗗𝗜𝗡𝗚: Vikings kicker Will Reichard’s missed a field goal yesterday because it HIT a camera cable and the refs didn’t catch it… This should have been a re-kick and Reichard would’ve had a chance to kick it again. 😬😬😬

I enjoyed Carson Wentz selling his part of the Cam Akers touchdown throw to Josh Oliver. (Bottom of the screen.)

London bound. They say the in-flight Wifi will even be strong over Greenland.

Vikings vs Browns, a London Games matchup for the ages!

Oh mercy. 20 years ago...

Harrison Smith played a season-high 29 snaps vs. the Browns. That was 41% of the Vikings' defensive plays. His three-game ramp-up to (presumably) playing full time after the bye has had him playing 38.4% of their snaps in Weeks 3-5.

#Broncos rookie wide receiver Pat Bryant, who is well regarded for his blocking, got his first career start Sunday at Philadelphia and played a career-high 40 snaps. He didn't have any targets.

In his ninth career regular-season game, #Broncos RB Tyler Badie played a career-high 19 snaps at Philadelphia. He was wanted for his pass protection and caught one pass for 16 yards. Badie's previous high snap count was 14 in this year's opener vs. Titans.

Guard Ben Powers, who didn't travel with the #Broncos on Sunday night to London due to a biceps injury, played all 74 offensive snaps in Denver's 21-17 win over Philadelphia. Tackle Mike McGlinchey left briefly due to an injury and played 72 snaps overall.

Vikings QB health update. Minnesota plays again in two weeks vs. Eagles.

In three games without Joe Burrow, the #Bengals have now been outscored 104-16. Their only touchdown in that span came while trailing by 45 points late in Week 3 at Minnesota.

"I thought it was a home game for us!" Justin Jefferson was loving the energy brought to @SpursStadium by the @Vikings fans today 💜

.@Vikings fans watching Redzone already having the W in the bag ☕️

All love from the @Vikings 💜
