Vorstellung » Buffalo Bills at Minnesota Vikings: Game time

Cameron Smith Minnesota Vikings Jerseys , 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, 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) Minnesota Vikings Jerseys Stitched , 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, 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! EAGAN, Minn. 鈥?Thanks to Adam Thielen, Minnesota’s record book has already needed several revisions this year.Just past the midpoint of the schedule for the Vikings, Thielen leads the NFL in receptions (78) at a pace that would fall four short of the all-time single-season mark (143). He leads the league with 947 yards. Kirk Cousins, the new prize quarterback with the annual $28 million salary cap hit, without prompting recently called Thielen the best player on this standout-laden team.More Vikings coverageTop Tweets: Minnesota teams send best wishes to GophersVikings sign veteran guard KlineVikings agree to terms with kicker Dan BaileyVikings add RB depth, re-sign Ameer AbdullahFormer Vikings guard Easton agrees to four-year deal with SaintsThe accolades of this magnitude might not exist for Thielen, though Cameron Smith Jersey nfl draft , without Stefon Diggs.Thielen and Diggs are the only teammates currently in the top 10 in the league in catches, on pace for a combined 242. That would break the record for receptions by a pair of teammates, set in 1995 by Herman Moore and Brett Perriman for Detroit with 231.Opposing defenses are naturally less likely to apply double coverage on Thielen when Diggs is in a pattern at the same time, as evidenced by contrast in a聽victory over the Lions last week. With Diggs sidelined by a rib injury, Thielen didn’t have much space.聽He used one of his textbook double moves to beat cornerback Nevin Lawson for a short touchdown, his seventh of the year, but he finished with only 22 yards for his lowest total since the 2016 season.The mutual benefit of this dominant wide receiver duo, though, began on the practice field years ago.“We’re always competing, we’re always having fun, and we’re always giving each a hard time if we’re not performing at the level we know we can,” Thielen said.If Thielen makes a catch in practice, Diggs will often make it a point to create even more separation from the defender the next time he’s assigned to run the same route. That, in turn, frequently triggers playful yet spirited banter between the two.7View Gallery Gallery:Upon Further Review: Vikings vs. LionsBrad Rempel-USA TODAY Sports | Brad Rempel“He’s my brother. He’s a guy I love messing with, love having fun with,” Thielen said. “He’s even one of my best friends.”At a position that has long produced some of the NFL’s biggest personalities, in some cases breeding a disruptive brand of selfish and boorish behavior, Thielen and Diggs are the anti-divas. Part of that is a product of their route, no pun intended, to the league.Thielen was the NCAA Division II player who went undrafted and needed a rookie tryout camp to make the team five years ago. He didn’t become a full-time starter until 2016. Diggs was the fifth-round draft pick who was a healthy scratch for his first three NFL games in 2015.“All the cute stuff, like records being broken and stuff like that, you like it and it’s good to hear, but we always want to win,” Diggs said. “We worry about the win column more than anything. So to see good things happen? Yes, it’s exciting. Yes, you congratulate your guys, because guys work extremely hard, you know? So it’s always good stuff From China Cameron Smith Jersey , and it’s good stuff moving in the right direction, but we want to win.”The Vikings (5-3-1) have been doing that more lately after a rough first quarter of the season, entering their bye week a step behind Chicago (5-3) in the NFC North, with a prime-time matchup with the Bears up next on Nov. 18.Cousins has been as advertised, ranking in the top 10 in the league in most of the passing categories, including third in completion percentage despite being prone to a costly turnover here and there. The offensive line has again shown vulnerabilities, though, and the Vikings have averaged the fourth-fewest rushing yards in the league.Thielen and Diggs have been all the more valuable to the Vikings this fall, with an assist by new offensive coordinator John DeFilippo for aggressive and creative play calling that has helped spring them open so much.“He uses his playmakers, and he just lets them play. So I admire that, and I appreciate that,” Diggs said. “As a player you just want to do the best that you can, and it’s good that he plays to your strengths.”The defense, which led the NFL in fewest yards and points allowed last year, was surprisingly one of the biggest problems in September. After that humbling loss in Los Angeles to the Rams dropped the Vikings to 1-2-1, though, coach Mike Zimmer has helped steer the group back into dominant form.With daunting road trips to Chicago, New England and Seattle looming over three of the next four games, the pressure will be on the offense to do its part.“When you look at it glass half-full, I’m thrilled about our locker room, the chemistry we have on this team, the quality of teammates, the quality of leadership we have in this organization. I think all that has probably even exceeded expectations from me,” Cousins said. “Certainly would have loved to be better than 5-3-1, but I’m grateful we’re not 3-5-1. You can look at it both ways. The point is, we keep saying, everything is in front of us.”
