The NFL season continues in Week 14 when the Minnesota Vikings host the Washington Commanders on Sunday. Start time, how to watch, stream and NFL TV schedule.
The Minnesota Vikings badly needed to stop turning the ball over. They had to figure out a way to revive their passing attack from the depths to which it had sunk during their four-game losing streak.
J.J. McCarthy will be entering his third season in Minnesota next year.
Our live blog for the Vikings' Week 14 matchup with the Commanders.
Two of the NFL's most disappointing teams, both aiming to end long losing streaks, meet Sunday when the Commanders visit the Vikings in Minnesota. Washington has lost seven straight -- tied for the longest active losing streak in the NFL -- and Minnesota has lost four straight.
While the game was still competitive, the most notable thing that stands out is the Vikings' use of heavy personnel. Oliver and Hockenson combined for all three of McCarthy's touchdowns, but Sims also played nearly 20 snaps and had an early catch. And the 26 snaps for Ham were the most he's played in a game since 2021.
