Thielen out (ankle) for the Vikings tonight in a must win game against the Steelers. Not good, but we'll see what happens to kick off Week 14.

Thielen's absence gives Tyler Conklin an opportunity to shine if Cousins looks his way. He's been getting better every week and would be great to see him put up Thielen-like numbers tonight.

I thought the Vikings had a stable of backup White WR’s. I guess they’ve all been injured or purged.

So far its Cousins forcing the ball to Jefferson every play, go Steelers. Ready for Big Ben to bounce back and tell the haters to STFU.

I’m going for Steelers. Ben, Watt, Schobert and Friermuth.

Derek Tuszka and Henry Mondeaux also getting solid snaps on Defense. Been a while since I actually cheered on the Steelers. Still would rather see Minnesota win tonight; Playoffs go out the window with a loss.

Holy **** how have the Steelers won 6 games? They friggin suck! Nice they play some pale faces on Defense finally, but this is their worst Defense statistically in decades.

Harrison Smith just railed Big Ben on a blindsided blitz!

Not too mention the pass blocking for the Steelers. O-line play has been awful as well. Yet to hear the broadcast mention that.

Willekes and Lynch both getting playing time in addition of course to Smith. That's 7 overachievers playing defense between the two teams, about as good as it gets this season.

Some Somalian Girl was "a victim of a racist video". So Minnesota gives her 56 jerseys and tickets to their games. Lol usually when I see videos of people getting attacked.. Well you know the rest.

I think Anyone on CF could rush for 100 yards tonight for Minnesota.

But, but, but. . . Tomlin's never had a losing record. lol His expiration date was several years ago, but the Steelers are too proud of never firing their head coaches, plus Tomlin is the golden boy of the Rooney Rule.

Devin Bush is well on the way to being one of the all-time first round linebacker busts. God, is he awful.

They have no leadership, just a bunch of weed smoking divas. Antonio Brown and Leveon Bell were the first, they were followed by "Ju Ju" and Chase Claypool. Cam Heyward is about the only Black player who seems to really care and take pride in his performance and the team's. Tomlin has always been one of the boys, thug Joey Porter was his buddy and was even promoted to linebackers coach. Tomlin will never crack down or try to impose any kind of discipline. He's the anti-Belichick, and a lot of the Steelers DWFs have had their fill of him, so you know it's bad.

Ryan Connelly injured on what appeared to be a cheap shot.

Connelly had a pretty decent rookie season with NYG, but injuries seem to have stalled his career..

Too bad about Thielen.

Steelers' O-line has been atrocious tonight, to say the least.

Steelers down 22 points, and the entire defense feels the need to sprint 50 yards across the field to celebrate a flukey interception...

Harrison Smith with the game winning pass breakup! 10th year in the league and still one of the ELITE safeties.

Big Ben is still great at times, just not consistently anymore, but then again his team slept through the first half. He made some outstanding throws in the second half. Harrison Smith broke up the perfect pass to Freiermuth that might have tied the game. The Vikings have a propensity to turn victory into defeat, glad they hung on to keep their wildcard hopes alive.
