Star TribuneT.J. Hockenson is headed into the medical tent after hitting his head on the Superdome turf on the Vikings’ second offensive play.
According to TruMedia, Kyler Murray was 21 of 24 today for 204 yards and a touchdown from the shotgun or pistol; he was 3 of 6 for 35 while under center. His 114.2 passer rating from the shotgun or pistol was his best of the year.
Kevin O’Connell on Aaron Jones: “What a warrior over these last few weeks. Aaron would hate for me to say this, but his ability to be a warrior on game day, find a way to make it to the next one, and just be able to be leaned on the way he is, he’s an inspiration to this group.”
