John Gilbert on the 2-0 Vikings – "Only two games in, Sam Darnold has been nearly flawless, especially after conquering the 49ers, who went into the game as a favorite to reach the Super Bowl. The Vikings defense was at its best, but when the 49ers made their late rally, Darnold was cool and precise in making sure the Vikings stayed in control. His pass from his end zone, 60 yards to Justin Jefferson for the 97-yard TD was breathtaking. About the time I was reflecting on how Darnold did what Kirk Cousins never did for the Vikings, though, I saw Cousins come through with a closing drive to beat the Eagles — the other favorite to reach the Super Bowl! The Vikings now lead the division at 2-0 and must become part of any conversations about the NFC title — thanks to Sam Darnold."

Brian Prudhomme on Friday's Duluth East at Duluth Denfeld prep football game (The Northland Fan 560 AM/106.5 FM, 6 p.m.) – “East versus Denfeld is fun for the community no matter the sport. I’m looking forward to broadcasting the game but also seeing a big crowd come out and support the athletes for both teams. I think Denfeld knows how good they can be, and it’s a matter of asserting themselves in a big moment. East is starting to find some success and would love to take a huge step by winning a rivalry game. I appreciate both coaches a great deal, and I’m sure it will be a fun way to spend a Friday night.”

St. Louis County declares local emergency as wildfires spread
Here is a weather model (HRRR model) forecast of near-surface smoke trends through the rest of today into tonight. Overall note is that a cold front moving south through northern Minnesota will result in winds shifting to northwest and then northerly, which will bring the plumes of wildfire smoke into the Arrowhead and eventually down towards the Twin Ports and into northwest Wisconsin towards the very late evening/overnight hours. The smoke is highlighted in brown, with darker shades indicating higher smoke concentrations. US National Weather Service, Duluth, Minnesota
