Brandon Warne began his Vikings fandom by riding the wave of the 1998 season, and hasn't looked back too much. It's too painful. Brandon has been covering the Vikings at Daily Norsemen since the start of the 2024 season. In addition to DN, you'll find him writing and podcasting about the Minnesota Twins and working in research for the company that handles sports broadcasts.
The Minnesota Vikings were at the mercy of the Detroit Lions — and in some respects, the officials — in a massive thrashing at Ford Field last Sunday.
Now, instead of a bye and home-field advantage in the postseason, the Vikings will have to be road warriors to get to the ultimate goal, if they are capable of doing so.
