K.J. Osborn ready for Vikings receivers to bring the noise

Despite a 3-4 record, Vikings players still believe they’re capable of producing more on offense. Take this into consideration: The team is seventh in total yards and is scoring more than 23 points a game.
RB Dalvin Cook is healthy again and there is depth at receiver. K.J. Osborn said his team has a lot more to offer on the offensive side of the ball.
"We can change the game. You can put it on us, let us bring the juice. Let us bring the big plays and the momentum and get the team going," Osborn told reporters Thursday.

The wrinkle this week will be Mason Cole snapping the ball to Kirk Cousins. Garrett Bradbury is out after landing on the Covid list.
RT Brian O’Neill believes the team is still upbeat, despite a few setbacks.
"Guys aren’t hanging their heads. Attitudes are the same. You’re not walking into a room and it’s silent. People aren’t walking around with their heads down. That’s not who we are. I try to focus on my job and improve every day," said O’Neill.
If the Vikings offense puts out the kind of production Osborn feels they can, it very well could be a shoot-out Sunday in Baltimore. The Ravens currently have the 3rd-ranked offense in the NFL, averaging more than 400 yards. They average more than 26 points a game.
Kickoff Sunday is set for noon.
