Minnesota Vikings coach hard work in vain:why are they leaving

This Sunday, the Raiders will play their former team.

These next five games are crucial for the Las Vegas Raiders for any chance of making the playoffs, and they start Sunday in Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas against the Minnesota Vikings in Week 14. The Raiders have the opportunity to go head-to-head against their former team, the Vikings. It starts with Raiders running back Ameer Abdullah, who played for the Vikings from 2018–21. During his four-year stint with the Vikings, Abdullah played 45 games, in which he had 38 carries for 187 yards and three receiving touchdowns. Raiders safety Marcus Epps was drafted 191st overall out of Wyoming in the sixth round of the 2019 NFL Draft by the Vikings. Epps appeared in eight games with the Vikings in his rookie season before signing with the Philadelphia Eagles the following offseason. Two Silver and Black coaches also go head-to-head against their former teams on Sunday. Running backs coach Kennedy Polamalu spent five seasons with the Vikings from 2017 to 21. In 2021, Polamalu coached former running back and current New York Jets running back Calvin Cook to his third-straight 1,000-rushing season, in which he totaled 1,159 yards. Cook carried the ball 20-plus times in seven games that season and scored six touchdowns.

While he was the Vikings’ quarterback coach, Vikings quarterback Teddy Bridgewater was named to the 2015 NFL Pro Bowl in his second season. The Silver and Black will also go head-to-head with a former Raider, as Vikings long snapper Andrew DePaola spent time with the Silver and Black in 2018. Be on the lookout this Sunday as all these Raiders go head-to-head against their former team at Allegiant Stadium. The Raiders (5-7) look to end their two-game losing streak this Sunday. A win on Sunday would improve the Raiders’ all-time record against the NFC North record to 7-18.
