for Tony Sparano on Sunday Authentic Mike Hughes Jersey , and they did Just before the start of Training Camp this year, the Minnesota Vikings’ organization was rocked by the death of offensive line coach Tony Sparano. Sparano, a long-time coach that was entering his second year with the Vikings after numerous other stops, died of heart failure at his home the week before camp was supposed to get underway.Sunday would have been Coach Sparano’s 57th birthday, and the team was well aware of it. According to this story by Lindsey Young on the Vikings’ main website, the team wanted to go out on the field in Philadelphia and get a win for their late coach.I had seen a couple of things on social media leading up to the start of today’s game about Sparano’s birthday being today Youth Anthony Barr Jersey , and I’m glad that the guys that he was closest to on the team, the offensive line, played a pretty vital role in making a victory happen today. Even with Riley Reiff going out early in the second quarter with a foot injury, the offensive line held up fairly well. That includes Hill, who shifted over to left tackle in Reiff’s absence, and rookie Brian O’Neill Trae Waynes Jersey , who once again looked solid at the right tackle spot.The Vikings wanted to go out on Sunday and get a victory for their late coach, and that’s exactly what they did. Hopefully, with any luck, this will be the start of a significant turnaround for the Vikings for the rest of a 2018 season in which they’re honoring Sparano with a sticker on their helmets.NFL Network goes full “Heidi Game,” cuts off final minutes of Vikings/Jaguars When the NFL Network announced earlier in the year that the Week 2 preseason contest between the Minnesota Vikings and the Jacksonville Jaguars would be featured on their channel, most people. . .including those well outside of the Twin Cities market like myself. . .assumed that it would be the entire game.Not so much.The Jaguars got a go-ahead touchdown from Brandon Wilds to take a 14-10 lead over the Vikings with less than two minutes remaining and the Vikings still holding all three of their time outs. Rather than sticking with the action at U.S. Bank Stadium Authentic Danielle Hunter Jersey , however, the NFL Network apparently thought it would be a much better idea to switch to the opening kickoff of the second game of their Saturday quadruple-header, as fans everywhere saw the beginning of the game between the Oakland Raiders and the Los Angeles Rams.It was a bit of a throwback to the “Heidi Game” from many years ago. In that 1968 contest between the Raiders and the New York Jets, NBC cut away from their game to the beginning of the movie Heidi, and missed the Raiders scoring two touchdowns in the final minute to turn a 32-29 Jets lead into a 43-32 Raiders victory. The Vikings ultimately ended up falling short on their final drive, but it still would have been nice to see it anyway.Again http://www.vikingsauthorizedshops.com/authentic-eric-kendricks-jersey , as I said in an earlier post, it’s just a preseason game and ultimately doesn’t mean anything. Still, for the folks that live outside of the regular market for these games, it would have been appropriate for the NFL Network to show the game all the way to its conclusion. The game will be replayed on the NFL Network on Tuesday, 21 August at 9:00 AM Central if anyone would like to watch the last couple of minutes after missing it the first time. « Three bubble players that make the Vikings 53tive ladies [m.
