Purple Positivity – Christmas Day Preview 🎄🏈 Thanks to 7th Avenue Pizza 🍕

It’s a Christmas Day showdown as the Minnesota Vikings take on the Detroit Lions, and Purple Positivity with Justin Ekstrom has you covered. The Vikings will be rolling without J.J. McCarthy, who’s sidelined with a hand fracture, which means it’s Max Brosmer time under center. New QB, big stage, holiday vibes, no pressure, right?

Justin breaks it all down with his signature Good, the Bad, and the Ekstrom, looking at what’s clicking, what’s clenching, and what’s got Vikings fans yelling “ope” at the TV. Grab some 7th Ave Pizza, settle in, and get your Purple Positivity fix before kickoff. Skol and Merry Christmas! 🎅💜

KNEE JERK REACTIONS 🦵💥
Vikings vs. Giants

The Vikings escape with a 16–13 win over the Giants, and now it’s a short turnaround with the Lions coming to town on Christmas Day 🎄🏈. With that in mind, here are the knee-jerk takes straight from Purple Positivity with Justin Ekstrom:

🗣️ “Lesson from KOC to JJ McCarthy for next year: hold onto the ball too long, you lose the ball. You lose the ball, you lose your job.”

🗣️ “With it being a short week and all the injuries, I can’t imagine the Vikings looking all that great on Christmas Day but you never know with this year’s team.”

🗣️ “I didn’t expect this receiving corps to be the weakest link to end the season but here we are.”

🗣️ “I’m glad the Vikes showed some fight because the other sideline showed what giving up looks like.”

It wasn’t pretty, but it counts in the win column. Now it’s on to Christmas Day vs. Detroit — short rest, big stage, and another test for this roller-coaster of a season.

What’s your confidence level heading into Christmas? 👇
Skol. 💜
