VIKINGS

Remember last year's Detroit Lions defensive injury list? The Minnesota Vikings offensive injury list is looking similar.

Their left tackle, Christian Darrisaw tore his knee last year and wasn't ready the first two weeks. He has played the last two weeks, but not up to par. Rookie left guard, Donovan Jackson had surgery on his wrist and is out. Center, Ryan Kelly got his second concussion in three weeks. He's out this week. Right tackle, Brian O'Neill sprained his MCL and is out this week as well. 

People were criticizing JJ McCarthy's play (who is also injured, I wonder why?) and Carson Wentz's play. The Vikings haven't had the five starters on the offensive line play together and their backups are terrible (there is a reason they are backups). The offensive struggles are not on the quarterbacks. 

Now this week the Vikings play the Browns who have one of the best defenses in the NFL. As long as Myles doesn't line up against Darrisaw, he'll have at least three sacks. Vikings better have tight ends and runingbacks helping the offensive line and chipping edge rushers.

The Vikings have a much needed by after this weekend's game against Cleveland to try and get healthy.

The Denver Nuggets may be the team that can take out the Oklahoma City Thunder. The Nuggets did bring the Thunder to seven games in the Western Conference Semifinals this past post season.  They resigned Bruce Brown, signed Tim Hardaway Jr., Aaron Gordon will be healthy heading into the season, and Nikola Jokic will be a top three MVP player. Losing out on Jonas Valanciunas sucks, but maybe they'll be able to sign Bradley Beal if he becomes available?

The LA Clippers beat down the Denver Nuggets last night to take a 2-1 lead in their series. The Clippers were better than the Nuggets in almost ever statistical category which showed since they won by 34 points.  Nikola Jokic had a triple double, but only scored 23 points which is below his season average of almost 30 points per game. Jamal Murray and Aaron Gordon both score in double digits, but the rest of team didn't help too much.  Denver and LA were 2-2 in the 4 games they played against each other this year.

BRONCOS

The Denver Broncos and Bo Nix are playing well this season. After beating their division rival, the Las Vegas Raiders last night, they hold an 8-2 record.  Don't get too excited though, they have only beaten one team above 500 (Eagles). Their two losses are against the Chargers and the Colts.  Don't get me wrong, this team is playing well, has a good defense, and a good young quarterback, but lets see how they do against teams with winning records.  Their nect game is against the Kansas City Chiefs.
