Sunday afternoon the Vikings take to the field at U.S. Bank Stadium against the Arizona Cardinals. It is Minnesota’s first home game in nearly a month. Winners of four in a row with the last three coming on the road, Minnesota’s continued strong play has allowed them to maintain a firm hold on a playoff spot in the NFC through 11 games. They also sit just one game behind the Detroit Lions in the NFC North.
This past Sunday, Sam Darnold and the Vikings scored 30 points in a game for the first time since Week 4. Sam Darnold threw for 330 yards and 2 TDs, but neither was to All Pro Justin Jefferson who is without a TD reception in the last five games and with only one on the season since Week 4. Bettors are wondering if he is due to breakout or if they should continue loading up on TJ Hockenson and Jordan Addison.
Kyler Murray and Arizona were held to a season-low six points this past Sunday in a 16-6 loss at Seattle. It was their lowest point total of the season and snapped a four-game winning streak for the Cardinals. The Seahawks sacked Kyler Murray five times. Afterwards, Murray spoke with reporters and said Arizona was “physically dominated” by the Seahawks. Can Murray and co. turn things around on the road against Brian Flores’ Top 10 defense?
Fun Fact: The Vikings’ defense is No. 1 in the NFL against the run and No. 5 in points allowed.
