The Minnesota Vikings lost to the Buffalo Bills on Monday night, and The Guardian reported that the team had to respond at the NFL trade deadline. In a trade-deadline column by Doug Farrar, The Guardian's headline describes the Vikings as going all in with Kirk Cousins in their Super Bowl quest. The column's summary says the Vikings had to act after the Monday night result, but it does not describe the terms of any move.
According to The Guardian, the Vikings' defense went to waste in the loss. Carson Wentz completed eight of 25 passes for 81 yards, with no touchdowns and two interceptions. The available summary cuts off before giving his passer rating, so that figure is not reported here.
The Guardian also reported that teams with championship aspirations "tooled up" at the deadline. It said most of those teams, but not all, have improved their chances of reaching the Super Bowl.
Fox News published a piece in which Bucky Brooks examined the All-22 coaches' film from Week 9. According to Fox News, Brooks looks at three new developments to watch for the Vikings. The summary does not name those three developments. The Fox News headline asks whether Cousins can save the Vikings' Super Bowl hopes.
The two outlets differ in focus. The Guardian covers the deadline broadly and reports on the loss, while Fox News concentrates on Cousins and game film. Neither summary says whether Cousins was acquired in a trade, which team he came from, or how his role would relate to Wentz's. The Guardian's piece was published Nov. 11, and the Fox News piece was published Nov. 12.
