JOTTINGS

• Vikings defensive end Brian Robison on the opportunity in front of the team today: "I have been in this league for 11 years. I have been a part of this organization for 11 years. You don't know if you're ever going to have an opportunity like this again. A lot of these young guys take it for granted, but you cannot ever take these opportunities for granted."

• The Philadelphia Inquirer carried a nice story about Vikings wide receivers coach Darrell Hazell, who lived in Philadelphia for most of his life.

• You wonder if quarterback Sam Bradford, who played for the Eagles when they were 7-9 under Chip Kelly in 2015, is able to help the Vikings in scouting Philadelphia.

• One of the special parts of the Eagles offense is their run-pass option. Vikings defensive coordinator George Edwards said: "It'll be tough on our guys, but they have done a good job picking up what we're asking them to do during the course of the week and hopefully we can go out and execute on Sunday."

• Vikings special teams coach Mike Preifer on if he talks to kicker Kai Forbath before a big kick: "No, Kai doesn't need to be talked to. He knows what the deal is. All I tell him to do, if I talk to him, is relax, take a deep breath, and do your job." Forbath delivered two long fourth-quarter field goals last week and might have been asked one more time had Stefon Diggs been forced out of bounds on his final catch.

• Former Gophers cornerback Jalen Myrick was a seventh-round draft pick for the Jaguars last year. He appeared in five games during the regular season, and last week, he played in the 45-42 victory over Steelers, recording a tackle on special teams. In addition, former Minnesota State Mankato offensive lineman Chris Reed is in his third season with Jacksonville. He made three starts and appeared in six games during the regular season, but he is questionable for the AFC Championship Game at New England because of a knee injury.
