Era dal 1992 che una squadra chiudeva una partita senza segnare punti per poi, a sua volta, tenere gli avversari a zero nel match successivo. E ovviamente, non potevano che essere i nostri Minnesota Vikings in versione 2025 a realizzare un'accoppiata del genere. Domenica sera al Bank i ragazzi in viola e oro, guidati da McCarthy e da una gran bella difesa, hanno vinto contro i Commanders con un risultato finale di 31-0. McCarthy ha giocato la sua miglior partita in maglia Vikings, lanciando 3 TD e chiudendo per la prima volta una partita senza turnover. Abbiamo rivisto dopo lungo tempo l'attacco in victory formation. La difesa ha spento del tutto un attacco di Washington che, va detto, era veramente poca roba, ma bisogna comunque segnalare la gran prestazione di Jalen Redmond oltre agli intercetti di Andrew Van Gingel e dell'eterno Harrison Smith. Bisogna contestualizzare sempre le prestazioni ma un miglioramento si è notato, JJMC ha interpretato al meglio il cosiddetto “gameplay semplificato” di KOC, che ha visto i Vikings correre 34 volte e lanciare soltanto 23. Sicuramente adesso c'è un po' di curiosità per il prossimo match, un Sunday Night a Dallas contro una squadra ancora in lotta per i playoff (come sulla carta sono anche i Vikings).
