Vikings Reset at QB, Flores' Defense Shines, and Miami Must-Win Preview

Join Bubba Startz, Brandon Herrara, Cody Hommedahl, and Sele Enaharo as they open with Tailgate Tuesday, a Vikings overview, and a new basketball show announcement. The episode centers on the JJ McCarthy trade to the Giants and what it means for Minnesota’s quarterback reset, locker room, and KOC. They break down the Vikings-Buccaneers game, Brian Flores’ blitz-heavy defense, special teams, and the defense’s sustainability. The second half shifts to Kyler Murray’s struggles, offensive adjustments, Jefferson’s absence, Devin Neal, short-yardage issues, and whether the Vikings should stay with Kyler or look elsewhere.
