My Kendricks jersey arrived yesterday, just in time for Sunday's Vikings game against Pete Carroll's Seahawks.

(No that's not me, I don't know how to take pictures of my back.)
While I'll be rooting for Bruins Cassius Marsh and Derrick Coleman to have great games, my heart will be with the Minnesota/UCLA Vikings:

Will there be a 3rd Bruin/Viking LB next year?

Anthony Barr is also back in full form and hopefully Pete Carroll will get to see the Barr attack in person:

The Kevin McDermott, Jeff Locke combo has been working really well, as well, as both were involved in a highly successful fake punt to help get them into the playoffs:

Mike Harris is having quite an impact:

As I mentioned, there will be Bruins on both sides of the field in this game, including this one:

Fortunately, Derrick Coleman is on the same team and won't have to run into Marsh. Instead, Derrick is still inspiring and empowering young people:

The Packers are getting ready to play Washington on Sunday as well, and although Brett will probably not be seeing a lot of action on the field, he seems to be getting acclimated to his new surroundings:
@BrettHundley17 Look at Mr Domestic Midwest!! You go Brett!!
— Ralph Irvin (@RalphIrvinUCLA) January 9, 2016
It shouldn't be long before we will see Brett in full view:

We don't yet know if Datone Jones will be ready for the game,
Hard not to be concerned when a player for the Packers suffers a neck injury. Hopefully, Datone Jones will be OK.
— Michael Rodney (@PackersNotes) January 7, 2016
but we do know he is working on it,

and doing great works off the field as well:

Hopefully, he will play, and will have a good breakfast as well:

Unfortunately, Logan Paulsen has been out all season, but should be back next year:

In today's action, Bruin-less Kansas City will take on the Houston Texans. Unfortunately, Rahim Moore is inactive for the game, however Xavier Sua-Filo will be seeing plenty of action:

Next week we will get to see a few more Bruins in action, including WR Matthew Slater who is the leading tackler on the Patriots' special teams:

Nate Chandler is currently on the Panther's injured/reserved list, and that might be a good thing as he is probably not getting much sleep these nights:

As for Jordan Zumwalt, the Steeler's have kept Jordan around on the injured/reserve list, even though he has suffered injuries both years in preseason. Let's hope 2016 is the year of the return of the Zumwalt!
For some Bruins, the season will not continue, but they are still enjoying the journey (and the grind):
