given time
he wants to push it.
That is awesome. I saw that yesterday and I watched it over
and over again. It is perfection
and the baby smiling at the end. I like the dog at
the beginning, the dogs like, what do you want from me?
Nothing, great, Peter.
Look at that. That's awesome. The only thing you don't have,
is the safety with both hands on the ball behind him. Ha ha
ha. Yeah, you need you need somebody else. Helping Justin
Jefferson. Keep the ball from touching the ground. One of the
Craziest thing
I've ever seen, one of the craziest plays will ever see
and great work there.
The baby's opened the baby makes the catch and the baby's
very happy at the hey. Mike one thing about that can I
because obviously I have not been on the whole week
but here's the most amazing thing,
at least to me, all right. And look, there's a lot of amazing
things about that catch, but when I talk to Jefferson from
the locker room afterwards, he said
and I almost quit.
That Kirk said to me in the Huddle, hey, I might just throw
this up to you
and and I just started to think after we got off the phone,
I said, well
if you're Kirk Cousins,
that's the only move that you possibly could make because
there are no plays in the game plan for fourth and 18,
they don't exist.
So what do you do?
You look at the guy out on the playground, who's the best
player of all and he just said, Hey, You and I
Guy. We're going to make something happen here.
We're going to make a play.
I'm going to throw the ball up to you. Just try to figure it
out, how to come down with it. And that's exactly what cousins
did. And
I just think that,
that is a great example,
when you hear coaches say,
hey, look, we can
scheme, we can diagram, we can practice all of these things,
but at the end of the day,
players have to make plays.
That was Kirk Cousins and just in Jefferson, taking it
upon themselves.
To survive and advance in this game that could change
the course of their season.
We've got to photo Services. We use Getty Images and USA Today,
images and there are multiple
still shots of that. Catch from the moment, the ball arrives to
falling to the ground and most of them, you look at it and you
say,
Justin Jefferson ending up with the ball is by far, the least
likely outcome based upon. Yeah, that of flash that
moment, it's still incredible
that it happened. This is the challenge. Here it is. Let's
take a look at this II. Don't care how many times I watch it
him. How does he catch that ball? I don't think he knows,
how does he
take them out as he have the strength
to steal the whole? Ground, the safety
on hitting the ground Peter? It's just slamming his body
against the ground.
You know what? That is. That's the regular season version of
the velcro. Catch
David. Tyree issei. Yeah, there's no way he's gonna come
down to the ground because look the safety there. It's the same
thing as Rodney Harrison
on David Tyree the exact same thing and somehow someway David
Tyree velcros the ball to his helmet
and the Giants. Win
one of the biggest games in their history.
Now when David Tyree did it, there wasn't a game next week
for the Giants. Obviously they won the Super Bowl. The last
time, the Vikings had a Moment Like This was the Minneapolis
Miracle, the Case Keenum to Stefon Diggs, who both
witnessed that catch in bills
Uniforms on Sunday. The Vikings went to Philadelphia and lost
38 27. So
after everything that's happened this week, that Rush
of euphoria, that crazy-ass game, the media attention has
been focused on the Vikings. The challenges to turn around
and get ready for the Cowboys. Here's Kevin O'Connell, head
coach. The team with an 8 and 1 record on all the media
attention
that has come their way after that. Epic Victory.
Don't worry much about anything other than
just the opportunity this week because
we really haven't turned anything up. Until this point,
I do feel like we're confident, I do feel like these guys
believe in what we're doing here, but at the same time we
got to go prove it. Each and every week we know that
And that's the key and it's one cliche after another, we heard
similar things from Kirk Cousins this week but they have
to stay even-keeled and the key is they have to find a way.
This is the Bill Belichick mindset. You have to completely
forget last week happen. Good luck. Good luck
with that. You have to forget it happened
and you have to focus on the task at hand because everything
you did. Last week comes crashing down. If you lose 9:33
to the Cowboys on Sunday,
And, you know, look,
you know,
I've been thinking a lot about this game, you know, I woke up
this morning, I looked at the schedule and I say, man, that
is an impossible game to call
the reason it's an impossible game, two calls that you and
I both know, especially because and I think Ezekiel Elliott is
playing, right? So they will be the Dallas. Cowboys will be
buttressed
in the running game
and so they will be better in the running game and
and Mike, I think it's a bit of a cautionary tale recently.
You know, the the Reliance on Dak Prescott
to me. I really want to see this team.
Run the ball more.
Try to control the clock. Keep the ball away from
the Minnesota, offense in this game and I think that is what Mike
McCarthy's message is going to be to his team this week.
Let's win time of possession.
Ezekiel Elliott was limited in practice both Wednesday and
Thursday as he returns from a knee injury. So, so far so
good. At least he's out there on the field and he's
participating. And, you know, Peter, this Vikings defense
lost in.
What happened? On Sunday? They just were up and down
the field, they couldn't stop the bills until they absolutely
needed it and bend, but don't break
sooner or later, you're going to break if you keep that up.
And again the Cowboys favored by one and a half in this one,
the Cowboys 3 and 0 all time at US Bank Stadium so it's their
home. Away
from home.
