PurplePTSD works in partnership with Vikings Territory, similarly doing their utmost to offer top-notch coverage of the Minnesota Vikings. As a result, we’re promoting five of their top articles of the past month in “The P/PTSD Perspective.” Take a peek at some of their best stuff.

The P/PTSD Perspective: November 14th, 2026

1) J.J. McCarthy Proves He’s the Same Guy in New York: The kids has his critics; the kid has his supporters. In reality, there’s a sweet spot somewhere in the middle that acknowledges that J.J. McCarthy is a talented young lad who still has a long way to go. Within that, onlookers can debate whether the Vikings made a brutal mistake by trading him.

2) NFL Insider Watching Vikings QB Moves for Trade Deadline: Something about that performance on Monday Night Football created intrigue in what was going to take place in the Twin Cities. In the end, GM Nolan Teasley and HC Kevin O’Connell didn’t disappoint; will Kirk Cousins as the starter disappoint?

3) Vikings QB Trade Opinion Says Kirk Cousins or Bust: In the end, the Vikings got their guy. Doing so makes a pile of sense due to a combination of factors such as cap cost, scheme knowledge, and so on. He’s the QB1 moving forward.

4) Vikings Bring Back Kirk Cousins in Win-Now Move: Prioritizing right now is wise. The defense is elite and so is the special teams. On offense, things are bleak, but there’s so much potential due to the personnel. Seemingly all that’s needed is a good quarterback (playcaller?).

5) Are We Watching the End of Justin Jefferson?: If the new passer lives up to his abilities, Jefferson likely gets fed early and often. He once again soars beyond 1,000 yards (it’s insane that it’s possible he doesn’t). Oh, and if the Vikings win? Well, start building the Cousins and Jefferson statue.
