But what will they do against the #2 running team in the NFL?

How will they actually SCORE against the #2 defense?

Vikes will have a long and unpleasant day on the road.

I think you’re probably right.

However, as a longtime (50+ yrs) NFL observer, I adhere to the concept that it’s not how well (or poorly) you played during the season, it's how well you’re playing right now.

No one in their right mind would’ve picked the Vikings to even be in striking distance beyond the first quarter at New Orleans, when in reality they truly outplayed the Saints in their own (hostile) environment.

So, anything’s possible.

Don't get me wrong, I think Kirk Cousins is a slightly above average QB but he will be getting back a healthy Dalvin Cook.

Plus I was really impressed with Kyle Rudolph, their tight end during the Cowboy tromp-a-ling during the season.
