"GET CARSON WENTZ OFF MY TV": FANS TROLL THE MINNESOTA VIKINGS QB

The Minnesota Vikings played on the road against the Los Angeles Chargers at SoFi Stadium on Thursday Night Football, losing 10-37 and dropping to 3-4 on the season. The offense couldn’t find a consistent rhythm all game, as the banged-up offensive line struggled in pass protection and run blocking. Minnesota totaled just 164 yards, including 130 passing and 34 rushing across 47 plays and ten drives, averaging 3.5 yards per play while converting three of 11 on third downs and failing on their lone fourth-down attempt.

Minnesota Vikings’ backup had a rough outing

For the fifth straight game, Carson Wentz started while J.J. McCarthy continues to recover from a high-ankle sprain, with the veteran journeyman also battling a shoulder injury. He had a rough outing, completing 15 of 27 pass attempts for 144 yards, one touchdown, and one interception before being benched in favor of Max Brosmer for the final drive. Wentz was pressured 13 times, faced pressure on 40.6% of his dropbacks, and was sacked five times, per Next Gen Stats. He was shown grimacing throughout the night and repeatedly grabbing his left arm.

Could this be his last game as the Minnesota Vikings starting quarterback?

With Carson Wentz banged up and J.J. McCarthy nearing full health, this could be the last game the veteran starts for the Vikings this season. McCarthy’s high-ankle sprain recovery is expected to take six weeks, meaning he could be ready for Week 9’s matchup against the Detroit Lions, exactly seven weeks after the injury, though the team won’t rush him back. Many NFL fans are done with the Wentz experiment and don’t want to see him on their television screens anymore.

Below is the full statement from the NFL:

In the interest of public safety, Monday’s Vikings-Rams Wild Card game has been moved from SoFi Stadium in Inglewood, CA to State Farm Stadium, the home of the Arizona Cardinals, the NFL announced today.

The decision was made in consultation with public officials, the participating clubs and the NFLPA.

NFL STAR AMON-RA ST. BROWN DEMANDS CHANGE TO PLAYOFF FORMAT

Detroit Lions star receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown clarified his feelings about the NFL's playoff format ahead of their showdown with the Minnesota Vikings on Sunday.

Both the Lions and Vikings are 14-2 and will compete for the NFC North Crown and the top seed in the conference.

As a result, the losing team will fall to the fifth seed with a top wild card spot despite having a 14-win season.

St. Brown talked about how the format needs revamping with his team in danger of losing the three games but not being at home on wild-card weekend.

'It's crazy. I think the rule should be changed,' St. Brown told reporters this week. 'Obviously, if you win the division, you should obviously make a playoff spot, but having a 14-win team having to go on the road is kind of crazy.

'But I guess I don't make the rules,' he added.

To add to the oddity of the playoff seeding, 7-9 teams who won divisions have automatically hosted playoff games.

The NFL and MLB have similar formats in which the top-seeded teams get a bye, and all divisional champions get home-field advantage in the first round.

Meanwhile, the NBA seeds based on conference standings regardless of divisions. On the other hand, the NHL considers both conference and division standings without bye weeks.

Despite the bizarre format of the league and his team getting the short straw, St. Brown is confident that the Lions have nothing to worry about come the postseason.

'Either way, I think we'll be fine,' he said. 'Whether it's going on the road or having a bye week and playing at home, we're built for either or.'

Last season, the Lions broke a seven-year playoff drought and made it to the NFC title game, where they lost to the San Francisco 49ers.

This year, the Lions have dominated, with their only losses coming against Tampa Bay in Week 2 and Buffalo in Week 15.

RANDY MOSS CONFIRMS HEALTH RUMORS INVOLVING-LIFE THREATENING ILLNESS, SURGERY

Former Minnesota Vikings and New England Patriots wide receiver Randy Moss has been battling a health issue that rode the fence between public and private for weeks -- until now.

Moss revealed a couple of weeks back that he was dealing with an internal health battle during his regular work as a member of ESPN's "Sunday NFL Countdown."

Rumors had begun to spread as Moss's eyes had turned visibly yellow, and indication of jaundice that is typically associated with liver problems. He later revealed on Instagram that he was in poor health and asked for prayers.

However, Moss did not get specific about his ailment, which left elements of privacy and intrigue amid the public news about his condition. That all changed on Friday, Dec. 13, when Moss took to Instagram Live and revealed a diagnosis of liver cancer.

Randy Moss on Instagram Live says he is a cancer survivor. He just got home, was in the hospital for 6 days.

— Seth Kaplan (@Seth_Kaplan) December 13, 2024

"Randy Moss on Instagram Live says he is a cancer survivor," Seth Kaplan of Fox 9 in Eden Prairie reported via an X post. "He just got home, was in the hospital for 6 days."

Kaplan updated Moss's condition in a series of posts that read as follows:

"Moss says, it'll be a tough road with chemo and radiation, but "your boy is back!" Thanking everyone for the prayers."

"Moss: They found cancer in the bile duct, between the pancreas and the liver. 6-hour surgery.

"Moss says, on Thanksgiving, he had a stent put in to help his liver."

Moss, an NFL Hall of Fame inductee, played 14 years in the league. He amassed 982 catches for 15,292 receiving yards and 156 touchdowns over that span.

EBERFLUS: BEARS' CLOCK MANAGEMENT HANDLED 'THE RIGHT WAY'

Chicago Bears' star Keenan Allen criticized head coach Matt Eberflus for not calling a timeout during the team's loss to the Detroit Lions. Despite strong performances, including QB Caleb Williams' 222 yards and three touchdowns, Eberflus defended his decision, citing strategy. The Bears have now lost six straight games under Eberflus' leadership.

DETROIT -- With 36 seconds remaining, trailing by three points after putting together a furious second-half comeback, the Chicago Bears were in position to tie or defeat the Lions on Thanksgiving Day.

But late-game clock mismanagement assured the Bears would not get the chance to complete a come-from-behind victory against their division rival. As time ran out on Chicago to solidify a sixth consecutive loss in a 23-20 defeat, coach Matt Eberflus defended his decision to not call a timeout in the final moments of the game.

"We're at 36 seconds right there and our hope was, because it was third [down] going into fourth [down], that we would rerack that play at 18 seconds, throw it inbounds, get it in field goal range and then call a timeout," Eberflus said.

Upon getting the ball back at Detroit's 1-yard line with 3:31 to play, the Bears ran 13 plays before facing second-and-20 from the Lions' 35-yard line. Quarterback Caleb Williams was sacked for a 6-yard loss with 32 seconds remaining as Detroit defensive end Za'Darius Smith went untouched to bring the rookie down.

Instead of calling a timeout ahead of what became Chicago's final play while facing third-and-26 from Detroit's 41-yard line, the Bears let the clock wind down. About 10 seconds passed before Williams frantically alerted the offense to get lined up for a pass play, and the ball was not snapped until there were six seconds remaining.

Williams launched a deep ball to rookie wide receiver Rome Odunze that bounced off the turf inside the 5-yard line as time expired.

"I knew when we snapped the ball that the [clock] was going to run out, so I was trying to get to the end zone," Odunze said "We just didn't get a great coverage for it. Moving forward, I'll know what I need to do to get there."

When asked postgame how the Bears should have managed the final sequence in retrospect, Eberflus doubled down on the team's late-game operation.

"I like what we did there," Eberflus said. "Again, once it's under seven [seconds], you're going to call a timeout there -- actually under 12 and then really you don't have an option because it's third to fourth, you have to throw it into the end zone then.

"To me it's -- I think we handled it the right way, I do believe that you just rerack the play, get it in bounds and call timeout, and that's why we held it and didn't work out the way we wanted it to."

Twenty-six seconds elapsed from the time Williams was sacked to when the ball was snapped on the final play. The quarterback had called a timeout earlier in the drive but intimated that he was not in position to do so again, which led him to change the play with 13 seconds remaining to take one final shot.

"I made an adjustment because I saw the clock running down, knowing that if we complete a ball inbounds or anything like that, we won't have time to kick a field goal or anything like that," Williams said. "So, I made an adjustment and knew Rome was either going to be one-on-one or he was going to beat the safety and be one-on-one there and I tried to give him a shot and we got the shot and missed."

Kicker Cairo Santos would have been in position to kick a 58-yard field goal on the final play, but Eberflus said the Bears were out of field goal range. Santos' career long is 55 yards, which he has made twice (2020 at the Carolina Panthers, 2023 at the Minnesota Vikings). But the kicker's recent ups and downs, including blocked 48-yard field goals in back-to-back games against the Green Bay Packers and Minnesota (along with kicking a field goal to send the Bears to overtime in Week 12), might have factored into Chicago's decision to get closer to the end zone before sending out its kicking unit.

Santos, who was warming up on the sideline, did not expect the final moments to unfold the way they did.

"I didn't see that happening," Santos said. "We rehearse these scenarios, and I imagine myself kicking that. I know we want to play for the win, but I just kind of imagine myself at least getting a shot there."

Considering the Bears' plan was to run a play once the clock hit 18 seconds to get into field goal range, Eberflus was also asked why he didn't call a timeout at that moment upon seeing that the ball had not been snapped.

"Once it gets under 12 [seconds], you got to hold onto it then," Eberflus said.

Eberflus pinned the Bears' failures on the "whole operation" but defended Chicago's communication in the final 36 seconds.

"We were all on the same page there, we just have to do it a little bit better," he said.

The loss drops the Bears to 4-8. According to ESPN Research, since turnovers were first tracked in 1933, the Bears are the first team to go on a six-game losing streak without committing multiple miscues in any of those games. The Bears have lost four games this season decided by three or fewer points, which is tied with the Jets for the most in the NFL and tied for the most such losses in a season in franchise history (1983 and 2015).

Several Bears players were shocked that a timeout was not called.

"I all of a sudden see everybody come on the field and the game is over," tight end Cole Kmet said. "So, I was like, 'What the eff just happened?' The sack happens. By the time I turned around, Caleb was pretty much on the ground. We just got to find a way to not take a sack there, and unfortunately the clock keeps running and I am sure the thought process was then to be able to get some yardage and then take the timeout and then kick the field goal. But we were just a little too late on that."

Wide receiver DJ Moore, who logged a team-high eight catches for 97 yards and a touchdown, expressed similar disbelief over how the game ended.

"I mean, you're just like, 'What the hell?' Nah, it's like, 'What the bleep' but it is what it is," Moore said. "It's not it is what it is, but we've got to find a way to win. We keep coming back in these games and be having time to actually win the game and we just s--- the bed."

After being outgained by 226 yards, gaining one first down and being shut out in the first half, the Bears thundered back from a 16-point deficit beginning with a 74-yard touchdown drive to open the third quarter. Williams led the Bears on three touchdown drives in the second half, along the way setting a franchise rookie record for passing touchdowns at 15.

Thursday's loss extends Eberflus' record to 5-19 in one-score games, the worst mark by any coach with at least 20 such games in NFL history.

"It was tough," wide receiver Keenan Allen said. "I feel like we did enough as players to win the game."

HIGHEST-PAID NFL PLAYERS: MOST GUARANTEED MONEY AT EVERY POSITION

 Who are the NFL's highest-paid players at every position? Plenty of record-setting deals have been made in the past year -- the quarterback position has been reset with a new highest-paid player four times. First Jalen Hurts, then Lamar Jackson and Justin Herbert and finally Joe Burrow became the highest-paid player in NFL history as the 2023 season kicked off.

In August, Minnesota Vikings tight end T.J. Hockenson reset the tight end market and San Francisco 49ers DE Nick Bosa became the highest-paid defensive player. In June, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson shattered the record for most guaranteed money given to a non-quarterback on offense, getting $110 million guaranteed.

We tracked the best-paid players at 16 different positions -- including long-snapper -- and will keep the numbers updated as more records get broken. To get the full picture on the top earners in this league, we sorted positions by two categories, which in a few cases have the same player at No. 1:

BREAKING NEWS: JUSTIN JEFFERSON HIGHEST-PAID WR IN NFL HISTORY ... Inking $140 Million Deal

 Justin Jefferson is getting PAAAAAAAIIIIIIIIIID -- the Minnesota Vikings superstar agreed to a four-year, $140 million extension on Monday ... the richest contract for a non-quarterback in the history of the NFL.

The deal was announced just minutes ago ... with Adam Schefter saying a whopping $88.743 million will be due as soon as the standout wide receiver signs on the dotted line -- and $110 million overall is guaranteed.

Jefferson released a video addressing the monumental moment in his career ... captioning the post with a touching message for his fans.

The deal was announced just minutes ago ... with Adam Schefter saying a whopping $88.743 million will be due as soon as the standout wide receiver signs on the dotted line -- and $110 million overall is guaranteed.

Jefferson released a video addressing the monumental moment in his career ... captioning the post with a touching message for his fans.

"Something that once was a dream is now my reality," Jefferson said. "There are so many people that I can sit here and thank but you all know who you are that helped me along the way. But we ain’t stopping here…."

"There’s more to be done… SKOL!!!!!!!"

The deal will send shockwaves throughout the league, as it resets the receiver market.

Miami Dolphins superstar Tyreek Hill -- who has wanted a new contract for over a year -- took notice of Jefferson's payday ... saying, "JJettas that’s well deserved."

Jefferson now passes Los Angeles Chargers defensive star Nick Bosa as the highest-paid non-quarterback in league history -- he agreed to a five-year, $170 million salary back in September.

It's been quite the offseason for Jefferson -- prior to the extension, there were rumors he could have been shipped out of town ... but as it turns out, the exact opposite happened, as he's now staying put for the next five seasons.

Jefferson is by far one of the best wideouts in the game today ... racking up over 5,800 yards and 30 receiving touchdowns in four seasons.

Well deserved.
