00:00Here, we have Vikings quarterback who's really been one of the surprises of the season, Sam
00:09Darnold.
00:10Talk about returning to his home area for Thursday night football.
00:13Challenging week for us, obviously a great L.A. team.
00:16Sam just told me too, I'm excited to go home for the first time with fans in attendance.
00:22I went back in 2020, but yeah, just excited to play these guys.
00:27It's a really great opportunity for us to go and play a really good defense, a really
00:30good team.
00:33And yeah, just very, very excited for this opportunity on a short week.
00:40Look, I thought they met their maker on Sunday in Minneapolis, and the Lions, I think, are
00:45better than the Vikings.
00:47And the Vikings could have easily won that game, but they didn't.
00:50The Lions found a way, and I think that's why they're favored to win the NFC.
00:56And I know a lot of people think it's automatic, it's the Niners.
01:00Let's face facts, I'll give you the Niners beat them.
01:03I'll give it to you, fair enough.
01:05But they had no business beating the Lions in that game last year.
01:07The Lions blew that as bad as the Falcons blew the Super Bowl to Brady, up 25 points
01:13at the half.
01:14You cannot lose a game like that.
01:15That is the most embarrassing game in the history of the NFL.
01:19And I got to tell you, I think the second worst game I've ever seen was the Lions blowing
01:22that game against the Niners.
01:23The Niners are not as good, and you've already seen it, as the Lions this year.
01:28The Lions are the cream.
01:30And they went to Minnesota and they beat them.
01:32And they were undefeated.
01:33Now, we'll see tonight, Dane, if they're, you know, for real, like, are they going to,
01:38like, remember the Saints?
01:39The Saints won two big games, scored almost 50 points, and then they lost five in a row.
01:43Will Minnesota reel off of that loss and lose again on the road to a Rams team, in my opinion,
01:50that stinks?
01:52I think this Rams team is awful.
01:53I mean, they played terrible.
01:56They blew that cover against the Raiders.
01:58I had the Raiders in seven.
01:59And I think the Raiders are one of the three worst teams in the league, frankly.
02:03And the Rams could barely beat them.
02:05But I'll give you this.
02:06If they have Pukashells and Cutback, they're going to be effective, because those guys
02:11can really run roots.
02:13And Stafford's amazing with those two receivers.
02:15They'll look like a different team tonight against the Vikings with those two active.
02:21And I think they're going to be effective.
02:22I think they're going to be effective.
02:23I think they're going to be effective.
