The Minnesota Vikings' love affair with the UK and Ireland
Anthony Wootton is joined by Matthew Coller from Purple Insider. Matthew is a reporter and podcaster who covers the Minnesota Vikings, and joins us to discuss the team's desire to play on this side of The Pond.
The Vikings will become the first team in NFL history to play regular season games in three different countries in the same season: Ireland, the United Kingdom and the USA.
Kevin O'Connell's men will play the Pittsburgh Steelers in Dublin on September 28 before heading to London to face the Cleveland Browns at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium on October 5, almost exactly a year after their last game in the UK.
The guys also discuss:
- JJ McCarthy
- O'Connell's coaching skills
