Best Tweets from Week 8: Vikings win vs. Cardinals

What is happening here? The Vikings keep winning, the Packers keep losing, and the Bears and the Lions are just the Bears and the Lions. I keep doing these blogs expecting it to be a collection of Minnesota meltdown tweets but that just isn’t happening. Five in a row for Mike Yeo, a big lead in the division, and one of the NFL’s best records. The Minnesota Vikings are ROLLING. And much like the Vikings keep winning on the field, the reactions keep winning on Twitter.

I was in at least 3 people’s Myspace Top 8. I have as many NBA Championships as Tom Brady. I’m probably too old to be here. @NickLewis37

COUSINS CHAOS METER

#CousinsChaosMeter for week 8. Cousins generated a lot of chaos in this game, and for the most part, kept it aimed directly at the Cardinals. I think I saw a glint of laser on the rushing score. #Vikings #Skol pic.twitter.com/8ZYwBRkGit

Oh, we knew.

On that touchdown run, Kirk Cousins found a gear that no one previously knew he had. Including him.

Lamar who?

Patrick Peterson in the locker room on Kirk Cousins' touchdown run: "We've got Kirk Jackson."
— Alec Lewis (@alec_lewis) October 30, 2022

No tricks.

Is this some sort of Halloween Costume Prank? That wasn't Kirk Cousins.
— Brandon Mileski (@BMileskiKFAN) October 30, 2022

“wait what happened there?”

They just showed Kirk Cousins’ touchdown run at Ford Field and the crowd here was genuinely confused lol
— Colton Pouncy (@colton_pouncy) October 30, 2022

This is how it works.

Kirk Cousins started rocking chains & doing the griddy & immediately got faster

More carats than bugs.

Kirk Cousins is about to have more diamonds than @ContinentalMN. #Skol

Dear @Packers,

Thank you for letting @zadariussmith walk. 🙏

Best ever.

Packers suck, Za’Darius Smith has lots of sacks and the packers are paying lots of his salary.. have a great week #Skol
— Rick Sosa (@sosarick) October 31, 2022

B-e-a-utiful.

Sack Leaders (NFL)

Z. Smith – 8.5
M. Judon – 8.5
M. Parsons – 8.0
N. Bosa – 8.0
A. Highsmith – 6.5

Green Bay is paying him $11.4 million right now… Minnesota paying him 3.3. 😭

Wait, were people actually mad about this?

The Jared Allen sack celebration was a tribute, not a slight.

Don’t get it twisted.#Legend

OH, he knew.

I asked Patrick Peterson what game he was pretending to play with his video-game celebration: “I think it’s called Call of Duty? I’m not much of a gamer. Heard it just came out.”
— Tom Pelissero (@TomPelissero) October 30, 2022

This is accurate.

I'm thoroughly convinced all that needs to happen is one ass-beating of an opponent for all of you to get REALLY excited about this Vikings team.

Until then, it's a bunch of cautious optimism. lol
— Dustin Baker (@DustBaker) October 31, 2022

But did it work?!

Bye week hasn't changed Vikings' formula. Build lead, blow lead, hope to figure something out late.

Hell of a day.

Kinda sappy post

I got to spend like 16 hours with my dad today, got to cheer on the Vikings and just had a lot of conversations on the 8hr trip (there and back)

It was one of the best days I’ve had in a very very long time. okay I’m done now. pic.twitter.com/JOQG6QeExG

Can you yell it though?

(Whispers) The Minnesota Vikings are 6-1
— Robert Griffin III (@RGIII) October 30, 2022

This is just great.

The Vikings have one loss.

Every other team in the NFC North has at least five.
— Will Ragatz (@WillRagatz) October 31, 2022

Gulp.

The last time the #Vikings started a season 6-1, they went to the NFC Championship
