ts well deserved Brett Favre Jersey , much needed bye week. While the Vikings are getting that R and R, the rest of the NFC North will be busy on Sunday. The Chicago Bears (5-3) will host the Detroit Lions (3-5), while the Green Bay Packers (3-4-1) host the Miami Dolphins (5-4). Since I normally do a three things to watch for a Vikings game, I figured I’ll do a similar thing here, but pick one thing from each team to pay attention to.‘Da BearsKhalil Mack ripping apart Matthew StaffordAfter last week’s vicious ten sacks Stafford endured by the Vikings’ defense, he’s about to be in for another nightmare with Mack pressuring him all Sunday afternoon. Danielle Hunter was named NFC Defensive Player of the Week after his man-handling of Stafford. Hunter and Tom Johnson combined for six of the ten sacks the defense recorded. Mack is talented and will likely be up against Rickey Wagner. According to an article from the Detroit Free Press, Wagner has given up seven sacks this season. He’s not only had to face Hunter, but also Demarcus Lawrence who has 6.5 sacks and 10 QB hits on the year. Mack is battling back from an injury Adam Thielen Jersey , but fans are hoping he can get back to top form. Before he was held out of the last two games, Mack had already recorded five sacks, 20 tackles, one interception for a pick six and 20 tackles. The Green Bay Cheese Packaging CompanyUnfortunately, Rodgers may have a hay day against MiamiThe Green Bay Packers host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday. The Packers offense is ranked sixth in the league for yards and 14th for points forced. The Dolphins’ defense ranks 26th for yards given up and 18th for points allowed. Aaron Rodgers seems unstoppable. Regardless if you’re a fan of him or not, he can flat out play. Rodgers’ thrown for 2,542 yards, he’s thrown for 15 touchdowns and only one interception this season.Miami’s played both the Lions and Bears already this season. The Dolphins defeated Chicago in overtime 31-28 Stefon Diggs Jersey , but lost to the Lions 32-21 in Miami. The Dolphins are coming off a 13-6 win against the New York Jets, but had a big 42-23 loss to the Houston Texans two weeks ago. Miami plays Minnesota on Dec. 16 at the Bank.The Detroit Lions Look for Kerryon Johnson to step upNow, Chicago’s rush defense is quite solid. The defense has only allowed two games were a team rushed for over 100 yards. Five games the D held teams to under 75 yards rushing. Johnson has only averaged about 63 yards a game. He’s broke loose for two 100 yard rushing games. After last week’s nightmare for Stafford, it’s possible to see Johnson pick up at least 15 carries. He’s due for another big game after only coming up with 59 yards off 20 carries over the past two weeks. He could also be seen as an outlet option for Stafford if he’s pressured how he was last week. He’s been beneficial to the passing game where he’s caught 24 passes for 165 yards.

They have Kirk Cousins, who they’re married to for the next two seasons as the starter, and they have young Kyle Sloter Harrison Smith Jersey , who they’ve kept on the roster for the past two seasons after the Denver Broncos dropped him before the start of the 2017 season.The Vikings are reportedly set to meet with former Los Angeles Rams quarterback Sean Mannion on Monday. As we mentioned when the rumor first started appearing that the Vikings were interested in Mannion, he may technically meet the definition of a “veteran” quarterback, but he’s really not. In four seasons, he’s thrown just 53 passes in regular season action, has started just one game, and has yet to throw a touchdown pass in a meaningful game.Now, if the Vikings feel the need to bring in another quarterback, there really isn’t a whole lot left out there in free agency. Here are some of the names that currently highlight the list of available free agent quarterbacks outside of Mannion.Josh McCown - Now 40 years old and might not even be interested in playing anymore.Josh Johnson - Played for half the teams in the league and was plucked from the AAF to start the last couple of games for Washington in 2018.Geno Smith - Ugh.Brock Osweiler - See Geno Smith.David Fales - Been in the league longer than Mannion and has thrown fewer passes.Mark Sanchez - You serious Dru Samia Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , Clark?With the dearth of options available, as well as a lack of salary cap space as things stand right now, it’s worth asking whether or not the Vikings even need a “veteran” backup at the quarterback spot.It’s obvious that the Vikings like Kyle Sloter, and with good reason. Quite frankly, he looked significantly better than Siemian did last preseason, and he appears to have significant upside for a guy that’s entering his third season in the league. Yes, he’s yet to take a snap in a regular season game, but honestly. . .is his lack of experience really that much of a detriment compared to guys that have been in the league for four years and has started just one game?Judging from what I’ve seen on social media and other places Minnesota Vikings Jerseys 2019 , I think the majority of Vikings fans would like to see the Vikings roll into the season with Sloter as the primary backup to Cousins, and maybe roll the dice on a mid or late-round prospect in this year’s NFL Draft, like a Tyree Jackson or a Brett Rypien or an Easton Stick to fill Sloter’s previous role as the #3 quarterback/clipboard holder.What do you think about the Vikings’ backup quarterback situation, folks?
