The team enters the matchup with two victories, including a recent win over the Chicago Bears, where backup quarterback Carson Wentz led the Vikings to a 9-3 triumph. Despite the positive start, questions linger regarding the team's performance against tough opponents and the offensive strategy, particularly with Kyler Murray at quarterback.
