Buffalo Bills at Minnesota Vikings: Game time Mike Hughes Jersey , 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 Linval Joseph Jersey , 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), 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 Kyle Rudolph Jersey , 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!Bleeding Green Nation’s three reasons why the Eagles will lose In continuing our look at this Sunday’s contest at Lincoln Financial Field between the Minnesota Vikings and Philadelphia Eagles, we have once again called on Bleeding Green Nation lead blogger Brandon Gowton to give us three reasons why he thinks his team will lose. . .yes, lose. . .to the Vikings on Sunday afternoon.I’ve given Brandon three reasons why I think that the Vikings will lose as well, and as soon as they have that posted I will put it on our side over here. Here are the reasons that Brandon has given me as to why the Vikings can pull off what would have to be considered an upset over the Eagles on Sunday.Sorry about the delay here! Got caught up.THREE REASONS WHY THE EAGLES WILL LOSE TO THE VIKINGS1 - The Vikings’ biggest strength is the Eagles’ biggest weakness.The Vikings are quite capable of moving the ball through the air Kirk Cousins Jersey , as evidenced by the fact Minnesota ranks fifth in passing yards per game with 327.2. That’s bad news for an Eagles secondary that’s going through some issues. Eagles starting cornerbacks Jalen Mills and Ronald Darby have been inconsistent at best this season. Now they’re going up against the NFL’s best wide receiver duo in Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs. Not great.It’s not just the corners, though. The Eagles’ secondary is also weak because they’re missing starting safety Rodney McLeod, who was playing well before he had to go on injured reserve. McLeod’s absence forced the Eagles to play 33-year-old Corey Graham, usually a sub-package player for Philly, for 100% of the team’s Week 4 defensive snaps. Even defensive coordinator Jim Schwartz admitted that’s too much. The potential “solution” to not have to rely on Graham as much is moving rookie fourth-round pick Avonte Maddox, who had never played safety in his life until last week, to the back end of the defense. Maddox is athletic enough to play the position but he’s also small (5-9, 183 pounds) and there could be communication issues. Kirk Cousins has always played well against the Eagles. He has a 99.7 passer rating in seven games against Philly. It wouldn’t be surprising to see him have another big day in this matchup. Cousins is one of only two quarterbacks who’s logged a win over the Eagles in Philly since the beginning of the 2016 season. 2 - The Eagles have some offensive line issues. The Eagles have failed to adequately protect Carson Wentz since he returned to the starting lineup in Week 3. Wentz has been hit 18 times and sacked six times in the Eagles’ last two games.Starting left tackle Jason Peters, who turns 37 in January, has been dealing with a quad issue. Left guard Stefen Wisniewski is reportedly being benched for Isaac Seumalo. Seumalo was the one who got benched for struggling early on last year. Center Jason Kelce clearly isn’t 100% as he’s dealing with some kind of knee issue. Right guard Brandon Brooks got banged up in Week 3. Right tackle Lane Johnson was dominant in 2017 but he doesn’t look close to that form right now.As Week 4 showed, Wentz is good enough to put up a strong performance even with less than ideal protection. But it’s hard for him to be completely dominant if he’s not getting adequate protection and that’s the case right now.3 - The Vikings could be more desperate. The Vikings must have a real bad taste in their mouth after losing in the NFC Championship Game by a final score of 38 to 7 earlier this year. They’re going to be hungry to avenge that loss.But even more than that, they just really need this win to keep their hopes alive. The Eagles also really need this win, but the Vikings just might be even more desperate to avoid going 1-3-1.Thanks again to Brandon for this exchange of information on Sunday’s game. Here’s hoping for a good contest, and here’s hoping that Brandon is right and I’m wrong on this one.
