Podcast: Patrick Reusse on the charmed Vikings (and why he won't join Bluesky)

Star Tribune columnist joins host Michael Rand for a look back at the weekend in sports, which starts with another grind-it-out win for the Vikings over a bad AFC South opponent. Minnesota hasn't been playing its best lately, but it hasn't mattered.
