What happened: Coach Fipp addressed Jack Fox's performance after the punter secured NFC Special Teams Player of the Week honors against the Minnesota Vikings. Fox played a central field-position role in a 19-15 victory over Minnesota on Nov. 1. The award marks a conference weekly honor for the seventh-year specialist.

Why it matters: The Nov. 1 outcome handed Minnesota its first defeat of the season, moving the Vikings to 6-1 through seven games. Minnesota holds the second seed in the conference standings despite the divisional loss. Special teams execution and field position proved decisive in tightening the NFC North standings.

By the numbers: Minnesota sits at 6-1 through seven games in 2026, holding the NFC's second seed following its 19-15 loss on Nov. 1. Fox is in his seventh NFL season out of Rice after appearing in 17 games last season (2025).

What to watch: Minnesota turns its focus to an upcoming Monday Night Football matchup with Carson Wentz under center. Fox and the special teams unit look to maintain field position through the midpoint of the regular season.
