Vikings rookie linebacker Ivan Pace Jr. played the game of his life in win over Raiders: ‘I’ve got that dog in me’

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:29 GMT

LAS VEGAS — Ivan Pace Jr. was the best defensive player on the field for the Vikings on Sunday at Allegiant Stadium. So, it’s only right that the undrafted rookie linebacker made the biggest play of the game, intercepting a pass in the final minute to help the Vikings hold on for a 3-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders.It was a perfect play from Pace as he read the eyes of Raiders rookie quarterback Aidan O’Connell, then jumped a hitch route intended for star receiver Davante Adams. Asked about the coverage, Pace remembered that Adams ran a hitch route on the first play of the game.“Just me in my mind getting the jitters out, I was scared to take it,” Pace said of not breaking up the pass on the first play of the game. “The last play they did the same thing, and I had to take it that time.”After making the interception in the critical moment, Pace did a backflip in the end zone while the rest of his teammates rushed to celebrate alongside him....

Nick Mullens replaces Josh Dobbs at quarterback, leads Vikings to 3-0 win over Raiders

Published Tue, 04 Mar 2025 11:22:29 GMT

LAS VEGAS — The stage was set for the Vikings to prove to everybody — including themselves — that the nasty loss heading into the bye week was a fluke. It came in the form of a brief residency in Las Vegas, which, fittingly, featured thousands upon thousands of Vikings fans making road trip to Minnesota.Instead, after a 12-10 loss to the Chicago Bears the last time out, the Vikings did very little to instill confidence in Sunday’s 3-0 victory over the Las Vegas Raiders at Allegiant Stadium.It’s hard to feel too good about the Vikings at this point as they prep to play the Cincinnati Bengals, the Detroit Lions (twice), and the Green Bay Packers over the next month.The offense was once again nonexistent with journeyman quarterback Josh Dobbs leading the charge. It got so bad that the Vikings turned to veteran quarterback Nick Mullens down the stretch.The defense was the only reason the Vikings were in position to win the game. It’s been a common theme as of late, and...
