In an insightful episode of Purple & Gold 4 Days, host Justin Day, a prominent voice in the Vikings community, dives deep into the Minnesota Vikings’ strategy as they gear up for their game against the Chicago Bears.

In the NFC North Roundup segment, Justin discusses the recent games. The Green Bay Packers secured a victory against the Detroit Lions, a situation that Justin terms as a win-win for Vikings fans. If the Packers win, it means the Lions lost, which brings the Vikings one step closer to the division title.

Justin emphasizes the importance of taking care of the ball, stating that turnovers could lead to a tough game with a team like the Bears. He stresses the need to avoid giving the Bears’ quarterback, Justin Fields, additional opportunities. He also mentions the importance of containing Fields in the ground game.

Focusing on the Vikings’ offensive strategy, Justin advocates for Ty Chandler to get the bulk of the carries, as opposed to Alexander Mattison. He believes that Chandler’s strengths lie in the screen game and toss sweeps, which should be capitalized on.

Regarding the much-anticipated return of Justin Jefferson, Justin advises fans to be patient. He emphasizes the importance of waiting until Jefferson is 100% healthy before he returns to the field, arguing that rushing him back could risk re-injuring his hamstring.

Despite the challenges, Justin predicts a seven-point victory for the Vikings. He acknowledges that the team’s approach might keep the game close, but he insists that the important thing is to secure a win, regardless of the margin. This victory would improve the Vikings’ record to 7-5 before the bye week, creating a favorable position for the playoffs.

The episode ends with a reminder to fans to subscribe to Vikings First And SKOL on YouTube for more detailed analysis and discussions about the Minnesota Vikings. Justin also informs listeners about his live post-game show, which will air tomorrow night.
