The Vikings are 1-4 and will play at the 1-4 Chicago Bears Sunday at noon. Hear the game on WJON. The Vikings will play without top receiver Justin Jefferson due to a hamstring injury that will keep him out a minimum of 4 games.
The Vikings are off to an 0-3 start and the New York Jets are playing with a backup quarterback after Aaron Rodgers suffered a season ending injury. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON.
For the preseason opener, quarterback duties will be split by Kellen Mond and Sean Mannion, although head coach Kevin O'Connell hasn't announced the starter.
It just may have been the best month of his career, but can he keep it up? Can he answer the bell in a primetime setting? Can he lift the Vikings to somewhere they haven't been?
