It's Tuesday Morning Nickelback time on Daily Delivery, as host Michael Rand welcomes in the usual trio of guests to break down all the big Vikings and Gophers story lines.

2:00: Andrew Krammer joins for Vikings film review, where he takes a look at Justin Jefferson continuing to make big plays — and Kirk Cousins continuing to push the ball to him downfield. Rand points out that Cousins was pressured at the second-highest rate in the league this past week — nearly 50% of his dropbacks — but had by far the most passing yards under pressure. Will he continue to be aggressive even when facing pressure?

15:00: My Least Favorite Team is My Favorite Team brings us five — yes, one for every Vikings win — haiku poems this week. Most of it seems to revel in the Packers losing.

29:00: Randy Johnson joins for a Gophers football update ahead of Saturday's huge game against Wisconsin. Depending on what Iowa and Purdue do this weekend, the game could be for the Big Ten West title.
