1. It's been a rough 3 weeks into the season. how does it feel to bounce back with a win after the previous losses?

   - Can you describe the key factors that contributed to your team's success this week?

 

It feels absolutely rejuvenating. Every week, we put in the work, and it's been a challenging stretch as this is unfamiliar territory. But this win is a testament to the resilience and character of this team. We wanted to focus on the run as this has been non-existent and generate pressure and cause turnovers, while protecting the cornerstone Malik. Suffice to say we hit all cylinders.

 

2. Julius Chestnut returns. 10 rushes, 130 yards and 3 TDs. Great FA pick up. 

 

The addition of Julius Chestnut was instrumental. He brought an explosive dynamic to our run game, and having worked with him last season, it's clear his familiarity with our system paid dividends. An 87-yard run in conditions like those isn't just talent—it's preparation meeting opportunity. We look forward to seeing more of Baby Henry in the weeks to come.

 

3. Defense brought the pressure early. 2 sacks, 5 INTs. What was the plan coming into this game?

 

We wanted to take advantage of the fact that Andy Dalton was back there and the lack of playmakers on Panthers' roster. We studied the tapes, identified vulnerabilities in the Panthers' offensive scheme, and knew that by applying consistent pressure, we could disrupt their rhythm. The idea was to make them uncomfortable, force quick decisions, and capitalize on any errors. Today, the defense sent a clear message: when we're locked in, we're a force to be reckoned with!

 

4. We know its a long season but it was starting to look like Vikings would be a non factor while Packers and Lions fight for 1st. Do you have a message for your division mates?

 

Look, I've always respected the game and the players in it. Packers, Lions – they're doing their thing right now. But let me channel a bit of Coach Prime here, who I deeply respect. The only thing I've got to say to the rest of this division is, 'We Coming.' Don't sleep on the Vikings.

 

5. Next up are the Chiefs. Currently they're struggling. Whats your plan vs Will and his squad?

 

Same plan as always take care of business and move on. Land or air we plan on adding another L to the column.

 

6. Any words for Vikings nation?

 

Continue to stand by your team, SKOL!
