Game time Minnesota Vikings Hats , channel, radio, streaming and more We are less than 24 hours away from the Minnesota Vikings returning to action, ladies and gentlemen. This week, the purple come back home to U.S. Bank Stadium, and will be facing the Buffalo Bills in Week 3 NFL action. The Vikings are coming off of their tie against the Green Bay Packers at Lambeau Field last week, while the Bills have started their season with two consecutive losses.So, how can you follow along with all of the action from Minneapolis on Sunday afternoon? Well, that’s what we’re here to help you figure out.Television InfoThis week’s game will kick off at the one most appropriate time for NFL football, that being Sunday afternoon at noon Central time. Because the Vikings are hosting an AFC team this week, this is one of the two weeks this season (as of now) that they’re scheduled to appear on CBS, which is WCCO-4 in the Twin Cities. For some reason, CBS has decided to send their “A-team” of announcers, Jim Nantz and Tony Romo, to give us the play-by-play for this one, which was nice of them, I guess.If you’re outside of the Twin Cities area, here is the coverage map of this week’s game from the good folks at 506 Sports. The Vikings/Bills game is the primary matchup in the area colored in red.If you’re looking for this game on your DirecTV NFL Sunday Ticket package, you can find it on Channel 709.At this point, I’ve pretty much given up on finding decent Canadian television listing for NFL games. There used to be a couple of pretty good sites out there, but it appears that they’ve both pretty much shut down.For our friends in the United Kingdom, this one is not going to be airing live on any of the usual outlets for NFL action over there. Kickoff is scheduled for 6:00 PM UK time if you’re using something like NFL GamePass.For our men and women in uniform overseas. . .well, you’re out of luck this week. Not only will the American Forces Network not be showing the Bills/Vikings game live Minnesota Vikings Hoodie , they won’t even be giving it the courtesy of a replay. I get that it happens sometimes, but it seems to happen to the Vikings a lot.Radio InfoIf you’re not going to be anywhere near a television for this one, you’ll be able to hear the call from Paul Allen and Pete Bercich on the Vikings Radio Network. That link goes to a list of Vikings Radio Network affiliates across the Upper Midwest. See if yours will be carrying the game. There are a couple of other places you can find it online as well, including the TuneIn radio service as well as the KFAN site (if you’re on a desktop or laptop computer only. . .it won’t work on phones or tablets).For those that have satellite radio (which, I’ll admit, has been a life saver for me the last two weeks as I’ve been traveling), you can find the Vikings Radio Network feed on Sirius Channel 105 or XM Channel 232. If you’re using the SiriusXM Online App, the Vikings’ permanent home there is Channel 819.Referee InfoAccording to the good folks at Football Zebras, the officiating crew for this week’s contest will be led by Alex Kemp. This is Kemp’s first season as an NFL referee, as he served as a Side Judge from 2014 to 2017 before getting the promotion prior to this season.Weather InfoWell, since the game is going to be indoors, the weather won’t be affecting the game itself or anything. For any pregame festivities that you might be partaking in, the weather should be pretty much perfect according to our friends at WeatherNation. High temperatures on Sunday will reach into the upper 60s, with fairly light winds throughout the day.Streaming InfoAs this is a CBS game, you can stream it for free if you have CBS All-Access.Otherwise, there are several legal subscription services that are available in order to stream the game legally. Among them are Fubo.tv, USTVNow, and Sling TV. If you’re overseas, your best bet is going to be NFL GamePass.Since it has recently been brought up, I want to make it perfectly clear that streams from Reddit or other places are not. . .I repeat, not. . .legal. If you’d like to argue about that, you can argue it somewhere else, because the moderators won’t listen to that garbage. Until Reddit Youth Customized Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , or anywhere else, has a deal with the National Football League, those streams are illegal and not welcome to be put up on this site. If you want to use them, go find them on your own and don’t be plastering them in the comments section here unless you’d rather not be in the comments of the Game Thread. . .or any other thread. . .here at DN.That should be all of the information you need in order to keep track of all the action from U.S. Bank Stadium between the Minnesota Vikings and Buffalo Bills on Sunday afternoon. We’ll have our Open Thread for the first quarter up about an hour before kickoff or so, and we hope that you’ll join us here for all of the fun!The Vikings’ fourth quarter offense was mighty efficient on Sunday In Sunday’s tie against the Green Bay Packers, the Minnesota Vikings put together a pretty damned impressive fourth quarter, putting up 22 points in the final fifteen minutes of play. What could make it even more impressive?How about the fact that their time of possession in that final quarter tallied less than two and a half minutes of game time?Yes, in their 22-point fourth quarter comeback, the Vikings had the football for a grand total of two minutes and twenty-three seconds of actual game play. How’d they pull that off? Let’s detail it here.The Vikings started the fourth quarter looking at a first-and-goal from the Green Bay 5-yard line. At the 14:17 mark, Kirk Cousins found Stefon Diggs for a 3-yard touchdown pass to pull the Vikings to within a score at 20-14. So, that gives us 43 seconds of possession.Green Bay then followed up with a pretty lengthy drive, holding the ball for a 10-play, 57-yard drive that ended in a Mason Crosby field goal to make it a two-score game again at 23-14. The Packers took 6:42 off of the clock with that possession.Minnesota got the ball back after a touchback at their own 25 with 7:35 remaining. On the second play of the drive, Kirk Cousins unleashed the freaking dragon to Diggs for a 75-yard score. That possession took 17 seconds, giving the Vikings a total of 60 seconds of possession in the quarter, and making it a one-score game again at 23-21.On their next possession, Green Bay put together another 10-play drive and burning more than five minutes off the clock again. The result was another field goal by Crosby, making the score 26-21 and forcing the Vikings to play for a touchdown.Only, on the next drive, the Vikings had the ball for all of nine seconds, thanks to Cousins’ pass bouncing off of Laquon Treadwell’s hands and into the arms of Ha Ha Clinton-Dix for an interception. So, with those nine seconds, the Vikings were at a whole 1:09 worth of possession for the fourth quarter.Fortunately for the Vikings www.minnesotavikingsteamonline.com , thanks to the combination of the two-minute warning and some incredibly dumb play calling by Mike McCarthy or Aaron Rodgers (whoever thought it was a good idea to put the ball into the air twice), Green Bay’s next possession lasted just 19 seconds. Crosby added yet another field goal, making the score 29-21, but there was still some hope.Cousins then proceeded to take advantage of Clay Matthews being. . .well, being Clay Matthews. . .and led the Vikings on an 8-play, 75-yard drive that was capped with the 22-yard touchdown pass to Adam Thielen that put the Vikings within two points, and Diggs running past the fossilized husk of Tramon Williams for the two-point conversion to tie the game. That drive more than doubled the Vikings’ fourth quarter time of possession, as it took an entire minute and 14 seconds to get into the end zone, giving the Vikings a total of 2:23 worth of possession in the final quarter.The Vikings did dominate the Time of Possession in overtime, holding the ball for more than six of the extra frame’s ten minutes, but thanks to Daniel Carlson, it didn’t really matter.Still, if the fourth quarter showed us anything, it’s that this Vikings’ offense is plenty capable of scoring in bunches, and doing so in a hurry. It’s pretty amazing that the Packers started the fourth quarter with a 13-point lead, held the ball for over 12 minutes of the final quarter, and still managed to not put the Vikings away. On the radio broadcast, Paul Allen was making the case on the final drive that the Packers’ defense was tired, but honestly. . .they weren’t out there long enough to get tired. It would have been the Vikings’ defense that was completely gassed.In any event, the rematch between these two teams at U.S. Bank Stadium should be an interesting one.
