Asked about the Vikings stringing together nine consecutive wins dating back to last December, Isaiah Rodgers declined to put too much stock into it.
“That’s not the 1-and-0 mindset we have,” he said. “We’re not really looking at is so much as the nine straight [because that includes] last season. We don’t want to look behind. It’s a different team, a whole different roster, so it’s just 1-and-0, like I said.”
Pretty nice to be 4-0, though, right?
“Yeah, that’s good,” Rodgers grinned. “And two wins in the division. You’re always grateful for a win. No matter how you get it, it’s the NFL, anything can happen, so when you’ve got four straight like that and keep on going, you’ve just gotta find a way to keep stacking.”
There’s no letting off the gas. The Vikings will turn their attention to a road game in New Orleans next week before heading into the bye.
“We’ve just got to lean in,” Metellus said. “If we stay as a team like we have been and we continue to grow our relationships in the build, I think we’re unstoppable, man. I think this team with one mind is a hell of a team to beat. And I think we’ve got the right guys in here — right guys coaching, right guys in the staff, the right people in the building in general for us to do something special.”
