Jamie Erdahl Blowing The Gjallarhorn At U.s. Bank Stadium

Jamie Erdahl, a prominent host on the NFL Network, was recently in the spotlight for her involvement in the Sunday Night Football matchup between the Minnesota Vikings and the Indianapolis Colts. Erdahl was given the honor of blowing the Gjallarhorn ahead of the Vikings’ home game at U.S. Bank Stadium, a tradition that signals the start of the game.

The game itself holds significant importance for the Vikings, who are looking to snap a two-game losing streak following their bye week. The team will see the 2024 debut of tight end T.J. Hockenson, who has been recovering from a torn ACL suffered against the Detroit Lions last Christmas Eve. Hockenson was activated from injured reserve after the Vikings’ loss to the L.A. Rams on Thursday Night Football and is expected to make a significant impact, having been on pace for his first career 100-catch and 1,000-yard season before his injury.

However, the Vikings will be without linebacker Blake Cashman, who is out with turf toe. Despite his absence, Coach Kevin O’Connell is optimistic that Cashman will return to practice next week and be available for the game against the Jacksonville Jaguars.

The matchup against the Colts is crucial for the Vikings’ standings, as a win would improve their record to 6-2, keeping them one game behind the Detroit Lions in the NFC North Division. The last time these two teams met, the Vikings staged the largest comeback in NFL history, coming back from a 33-0 deficit to win 39-36 in overtime.
