Vikings could be turning to rookie quarterback Jaren Hall for foreseeable future

Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 19:43:53 GMT

GREEN BAY, Wis. — It appears that rookie quarterback Jaren Hall is going to be the guy for the Vikings moving forward. He made his NFL debut on Sunday afternoon at Lambeau Field after starting quarterback Kirk Cousins suffered a significant injury.In relief, Hall finished 3 of 4 passing for 23 yards, which included a completion to tight end T.J. Hockenson that helped the Vikings put the finishing touches on a 24-10 victory over the Green Bay Packers.“We needed him in the last bit there,” Hockenson said. “He stepped up. He was clear in the huddle. We have all the trust in the world in Jaren.”If the Vikings are indeed without Cousins, who is feared to have torn his Achilles tendon, Hall is expected to be the starter in the short term.“Whatever happens next week, I’ll be prepared,” Hall said. “That’s not  up to me. I trust our coaches, and they’re going to do what’s best for this team. I’ve just got to do right by my  team and make sure I’m prepared.”As soon as ...

We stood still and allowed them to collapse. … We just stood and tried to make plays in the area where they were standing.”Jake Middle...

Five Weeknight Dishes: Quick fall pastas

Published Sun, 10 Nov 2024 19:43:53 GMT

By Genevieve Ko, The New York TimesAlmost exactly a year ago, I wrote about how pasta was all I wanted for dinner. Maybe it’s the season — a little chill in the air, a lot of too much going on — that calls for tender noodles.Also, it’s only Tuesday, but are you tired? I am, and pasta is the easiest one-dish dinner for anyone feeling weary. If you start boiling a pot of water right after you walk in the door, you can eat in half an hour or less. Work vegetables and proteins into the dish, and you really don’t need anything else to complete the meal, whether it’s cheesy macaroni or soupy soba.But the real beauty of pasta is that it tastes so special, especially when it’s swirled with fall produce. There’s a real restaurant feel to that kind of dish, but it comes at a fraction of the cost when made at home. And the very thrill of that is enough to give me a soft second wind to pull noodles out of the pantry and start cooking.Pasta with Butternut Squash, Kale and Brown Butter. This Ali ...
