The Minnesota Vikings improved to 6-2 after a challenging start to the season, relying heavily on their defense. They are the first NFL team since 1925 to win at least six of their first eight games while failing to score a touchdown in three or more contests. Despite these struggles, they managed a 2-1 record in games without touchdowns. Following a loss to the Buffalo Bills, the Vikings initiated a trade involving Kirk Cousins, suggesting a need for significant offensive changes. Their next challenge is against the Green Bay Packers.
