BID: Minnesota Vikings Isaiah Rodgers is an absolute DAWG! Sep 22, 2025

Show notes

The Minnesota Vikings absolutely DOMINATED the Cincinnati Bengals on Sunday thanks in large part to Isaiah Rodgers and the Minnesota Vikings defense. Jessi, Leighton, and Jason discuss the Minnesota Vikings win and Isaiah Rodgers record setting performance. Jason also offers up a nickname for the Minnesota Vikings, Isaiah Rodgers. We think you’ll like it. Bottomline, Isaiah Rodgers can play, and the Minnesota Vikings likely found themselves a good one. Oh, and Carson Wentz played well guiding the Minnesota Vikings offense. Can he replicate it next week against the Steelers? Jordan Addison returns this week too! PLUS, is it time to have the Adam Thielen conversation?
