Mekhi Blackmon shined in his time on the field in Green Bay.
The big story of the Vikings' win over the Packers on Sunday was obviously Kirk Cousins' season-ending injury, but the season isn't over for the rest of the team. This is a 4-4 group that still believes it can play at a high level even without its starting quarterback. Rookie Jaren Hall will get the first crack at the QB job this weekend, although Josh Dobbs looms as an intriguing option once he learns the offense.
Let's take a look at Minnesota's offensive and defensive snap counts from Week 8 to see what we can learn.What stands out the most on this side of the ball is Mattison out-snapping Akers 44-17. However, it doesn't seem like that was by design. The two were just fully rotating series and Mattison happened to be in there for a few of the team's longer drives.
Lowry injured his groin early in this game and may not be available against the Falcons, which would mean more work for Roy and Tonga as rotational pieces behind Phillips and Bullard.Thanks for reading.
