Nightcap Hour 3: Vikings CRUISE to WIN Over Bucs + 49ers WITHSTAND Cardinals Push + Chiefs DOMINATE The Dolphins + Jameis Winston Gets W for Giants + Amazon Prime BIG DEALS

Shannon Sharpe (0:01)

The Vikings defeated the Bucs 23-16. Kyler Murray gets his first win of the Vikings quarterback. Kyler was 15-29, 168, one touchdown, one INT.

Did the offense look different with Kyler in there as opposed to walking to him?

Chad Johnson (0:20)

Hey, you know what? It's the one game I wasn't able to see.

Shannon Sharpe (0:28)

Hey, look. The Vikings, Justin Jefferson tweaked his ankle early and late in the first quarter, did not return. Jordan Addison stepped up without Jetta. He had five catches, 90 yards of the touchdown. Todd Boll says Baker Mayfield dislocated his right thumb and will undergo an MRI.

With the dislocated throwing thumb and the Bucs sitting at 0-3, how much time do you think he misses? I think he misses a lot. I think, you know, with that thumb, like you say, gripping that ball, your thumb is probably the major part.

Chad Johnson (0:58)

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Shannon Sharpe (1:00)

I say gripping the ball, gripping the ball. Hold on.

Gripping the ball, your thumb plays a major part.

Joe Johnson (1:10)

You hear me?

Chad Johnson (1:11)

Right, okay, yeah. I told you, Joe.

Shannon Sharpe (1:18)

Yeah, I think he gonna play, I mean, I think he gonna miss a significant amount of time.

Joe Johnson (1:23)

Right.

Shannon Sharpe (1:23)

Okay, Ocho and yeah, he probably need him, man. It ain't been looking good for Baker to start. I know he got his money. I'm happy for him, but boy, listen, I mean, he could be, I mean, it all depends how much damage to the ligaments are. It could be two months, could be three months. It's season gonna be over.

Damn near. Yeah. I mean, you're talking about it's, we just played week three. If he misses eight weeks, that's what 11, 12 games, Ochocinco. So you got five games left.

Joe Johnson (1:54)

You might be out of it.

Chad Johnson (1:56)

Jesus.

Shannon Sharpe (1:56)

Todd Boles, somebody else might be coaching this team.

Chad Johnson (1:59)

Hey, you right by that, especially start on three and you're starting quarterback that gives you the best chance to win.

He out. Hey.

Shannon Sharpe (2:08)

Yeah. Hey, this was a defense and special team win for for the Vikings.

Chad Johnson (2:14)

Vikings. Yeah.

Shannon Sharpe (2:15)

Yeah. For the Vikings. I think Kyler, you know, it was good to see him back out there. Uncle Ocho, but y'all know that that rhythm and timing, you know, it's hard to kind of make up. So I. Him throwing him throwing a touchdown. I know he felt good about that, but the pick is kind of I want to say warranted, but he's been out some time, you know, considering what he's been through.

Joe Johnson (2:34)

But to see him back out there, I know he felt good.

Shannon Sharpe (2:36)

I mean, when you think about Tampa, Tampa gave up, they had six sacks, they got sacked six times today. Baker did. Baker did, yeah.

But look, if you can't handle pressure, it's going to be hard to beat Minnesota. Brian Flores dialed it up. Kyle Van Oys still. Kyle Van Oys had a sack and a half. Eric Wilson had a sack and a half.

Mattelis had a half a sack. Dallas Turner had a half a sack. Van Ginkle, half a sack. Pace Jr., half a sack. Yeah, they got after, but they're a pressure team. If you can't handle their pressure, you can't beat them. Because they coming. I agree. And you can't move them chains on third down. You two for 16 on third down. Hell, it's going to be hard to beat any team like that.

Chad Johnson (3:20)

Yeah.

Hey Jedis, hit your boy. I had you ready by Sunday. You hit me?

Shannon Sharpe (3:28)

Baker got to stop turning the damn ball over too though, Joe and Ochocinco.

Chad Johnson (3:31)

Yeah.

Shannon Sharpe (3:36)

Remember Cincinnati? You remember last week?

Chad Johnson (3:39)

Oh, the fumble, the fumbles, yeah.

Shannon Sharpe (3:40)

Yeah. Well, he turned the ball. I mean, he threw a pick, he was fumbling the ball. What did he have against y'all? Four turnovers, Ochocinco? Three or four turnovers?

Chad Johnson (3:46)

I think it was four, yeah. That deep.

Shannon Sharpe (3:48)

Yeah, he was bad that game. Yeah, you can't, man, you're not be, these teams are too good. You can't turn the ball over and expect to win.

Chad Johnson (3:56)

No.

Shannon Sharpe (3:57)

I agree. I agree. Down in the NFL.

How much longer you think Tarbo's got? You think he last to mid-season?

Chad Johnson (4:07)

You know what? I'm not sure. Most of the time, if a coach is on the hot seat or they're not playing well, you know, it get to the media before it get to us. You know that, huh? Somebody said, somebody leaking on purpose. Just to get the fire, just to get the fire started.
