Injury Report
The Vikings ruled out cornerback Mackensie Alexander (elbow/groin) and linebacker Kentrell Brothers (wrist/hamstring) from Sunday’s game, but all others on the Vikings injury report are expected to play in the game.
The Giants ruled out three players, including running back Saquon Barkley (ankle). The other two who will not play on Sunday are linebacker Alec Ogletree (hamstring) and linebacker Tae Davis (concussion). Another linebacker, Lorenzo Carter, is questionable with a neck injury.
Does the team review the previous game and then put it out of their mind? Also, is our offensive line really better or are they only playing better against weaker defenses?

Even with games that are frustrating, such as the loss to Chicago last week, the team takes time to look at the tape and identify the successes and failures in an effort to learn and improve going forward. You can’t totally throw a game out and forget about it, but you also don’t want to let one bad game turn into two bad games because you are dwelling on it. As for the offensive line…yes, they are improved from last year. No question about it. Last week’s game in Chicago was proof of that, but the first three games of the season against Atlanta, Green Bay and Oakland showed improvement up front. Dalvin Cook was the NFL’s leading rusher through the first three games and we allowed only two sacks in those games. We weren’t able to run the ball in Chicago and we surrendered six sacks, so we’ll have to tip our cap to the Bears defense and personnel. But we won’t let one bad game against a very good defense spoil our appreciation for the amount of improvement we’ve seen from the boys up front.
