Hopefully that growth isn’t a goiter.

I think the biggest issue on the O is Udinski is in Jax.

Week 4 Keys To Victory:

- Limit Malik Willis' Rushing
- Score First
- 100+ Team Rushing Yards #SKOL https://t.co/UcClw9bi9a

The Vikings host the 0-3 Miami Dolphins week 4. The Fins 3 opponents thus far have a combined record of 9-0 and after this week will have played 4/5 of the remaining undefeated teams in the NFL. Make no mistake- this game has trap game written all over it. Though to make matters worse, the Dolphins lost their star running back, De'Von Achane for the season with a torn ACL last week. Even before the injury, the Dolphins looked like the favorite for the #1 pick in the NFL draft. As for us, it is a perfect start in the record column despite a shoddy offensive effort collectively through the first 3 weeks. We will not go the distance without massive improvements from our offensive output.

The Vikings are overwhelming favorites (-11.5), with an O/U set at 38.5. This implies that the Vikings will score 25.5 points and the Dolphins will score 13.5. Our defense and special teams are on fire, but the offense has been ice cold. We need a get right game this week- and this matchup has presented itself for us to do that. I am, however, worried that a matchup this heavily favored could set us up for a trap game. This is not a game to overlook, as every win is important in the NFL. More importantly we need this game to be taken seriously for our offense to find its identity.

Keys To Victory

1. Limit Malik Willis' Rushing

Willis is a true dual threat. Last week this was showcased with 9 carries for 56 yards against the Chiefs. He has played competitive football while adjusting to a new offense, now without De'Von Achane, expect them to utilize his mobility even more.

2. Score First

Throughout KOC's tenure, the Vikings are dominant when we score first. We are 29-7 when scoring first since 2022, good for an 80.6% win percentage. Coincidentally, PFF has the Vikings win percentage for this week at

80.9%

Scoring first and letting our defense operate as it has is a major key to victory in week 4.

As a collective team, we are prone to being exposed if we get down early. Considering our offense has struggled as much as it has, if we play from behind it could derail our game plan and limit our ability to execute, especially if we have to abandon the run. Below are Kyler Murray's passing stats last week that produced a

56.1 PFF grade

• 15/29 (51.7%)

• 168 yards

• 1 TD/ 1 INT

3. 100+ Team Rushing Yards

To get our offense into flow, continuing to emphasize the ground game is in our best interest. The Dolphins have allowed 313 yards on the ground through 3 games (104/game). Our RB room is thin and we have not been able to generate any production outside of Aaron Jones. We haven't abandoned the run, which is a positive sign. This year, we are running the football on 45.7% of plays, up from 38.7% in 2025.

The game plan is simple- get up early, establish the run and get this offense into a flow. Getting another win here is expected, the undefeated push continues!

The offensive play calling seems somewhat redundant and lacks creativity. Do they have more than one running play? Where are the short and intermediate on schedule passes?

Udinski was a loss.
