Jan. 16 Update: The Vikings announced they have signed cornerback Ambry Thomas to a reserve/futures contract. Thomas joined Minnesota's practice squad in late December. He appeared in 42 regular-season games and five postseason contests with San Francisco from 2021-23 after joining the 49ers as a third-round pick from Michigan.

The game was known as Super Bowl 26, and it was played on January 26th, 1992, in front of more than 63,000 fans.

J.J. McCarthy is a key to the Minnesota Vikings’ offseason plans, so the additional hurdle he is navigating is especially noteworthy.

National discussion has framed the Vikings' looming quarterback decision as whether they should re-sign veteran Sam Darnold, who is set to become an unrestricted free agent. But their first priority is to assess McCarthy's capacity for a quick ascension.
