The Vikings' offense showed what it could be against the Panthers -- but they nearly gave it away

Purple Insider - a Minnesota Vikings and NFL podcast

Matthew Coller and Sam Ekstrom try to wrap their heads around what happened between the Minnesota Vikings and Carolina Panthers in the Vikings' 34-28 win. How the offense came alive and Kirk Cousins led two very impressive final drives. Why KJ Osborn has played a key part in showing how good the Vikings offense can be ...but....they also struggled in the first half. The Vikings also let the Panthers off the hook with conservative decision making that kept Carolina in the game and allowed Sam Darnold to come back. Does this win eliminate the conversation about job security for Mike Zimmer? Does it give Kirk Cousins a good chance at being the Vikings' long-term QB?
