Although Bill Belichick is hoping to see the Minnesota Vikings face some adversity, others are believers in what they are already doing. Among those believers is Belichick’s former quarterback and new Fox Sports analyst Tom Brady.

Stop the count, Tom Brady loves the Minnesota Vikings

Tom Brady has joined the broadcast booth for the first time this season. Obviously that comes on the heels of an incredibly successful, Hall of Fame, playing career. He knows a thing or two about the sport, and he has the Vikings third in his latest power rankings.

“At number three, the Minnesota Vikings. Yeah. Just how you scripted it. You lose your quarterback in free agency so you draft one in the first round. He gets injured, so you bring in Sam Darnold. 3-0 start. It’s been his fourth team in five seasons. I can’t say enough good things about what I’ve seen from him this year. My old teammate KOC [Kevin O’Connell], he could be the frontrunner, I know this is early, for coach of the year. He’s got them off to a 3-0 start. And what about this Vikings defense. 16 sacks to lead the league so far this year. Unbelievable job by Brian Flores. They got a big game against the Packers coming up on Sunday. NFC North is going to be a lot of fun to watch this year.”

It’s pretty cool to see one of the best to ever play the game be so complimentary of this Minnesota Vikings squad. He is correct in suggesting that the Vikings are rolling, and it’s hard not to get on board at this point. Minnesota can continue to turn heads with another big win against the Packers at Lambeau on Sunday.

Brady is just the latest believe in what O’Connell has going for the Vikings. An uncertainty surrounded the franchise to start the season because of Darnold’s previous stops. Coaching clearly makes a difference, and so does having competent parts to surround yourself with.

Should the Vikings get off to a 4-0 start and head across the pond undefeated, a big showdown with the New York Jets is on tap.
