The 2021-2022 NFL season is now rounding third base as the playoffs are fast approaching. Teams are now vying for pole position for the playoffs and injuries, along with chemistry and momentum, also play a vital part in helping to determine the final overall record.
Week 14 begins tonight with a battle between the Minnesota Vikings and the Pittsburgh Steelers on Thursday Night Football. The Vikings are coming off an embarrassing last-second loss to the previously winless Detroit Lions.
Minnesota has two significant injuries to be concerned about as star running back Dalvin Cook is listed as questionable with an injury to his shoulder. Star receiver Adam Thielen has been officially ruled out of the game with an ankle injury that he suffered in the first quarter of the game against the Lions this past Sunday.
Vikings quarterback Kirk Counsins will still have second-year Pro Bowl receiver Justin Jefferson at his disposal, but if coverage shades his way, he will look to slot receiver K.J. Osborn to help ease the burden in the passing game.
Tight end Tyler Conklin could also play a vital role tonight in the seams against a Steelers team that has experienced less than stellar play at middle linebacker.
The Pittsburgh Steelers enter tonight's game coming off of their own last-second victory over division rivals and previously AFC-leading Baltimore Ravens. Poor play from Ravens quarterback Lamar Jackson continued as the Steelers defense was able to contain the former NFL MVP.
The Steelers will be without Joe Haden, Robert Spillane, Isaiah Buggs and B.J. Finney for tonight's game. Lately, it seems as long as T.J. Watt is in the lineup, the Steelers have a chance.
The frontrunner for the Defensive Player of the Year award currently has a league-leading 16 sacks for the season, including three-and-a-half earned Sunday on Lamar Jackson.
Here is everything you need to know for the games today and where you can tune in to watch the Week 14 NFL action.
