Vikings remain undefeated as Kyler Murray returns for Week 3
Summary

The Minnesota Vikings have started the season with a 2-0 record, having recently allowed only three points to the Chicago Bears. The team's defense, led by coordinator Brian Flores, has effectively blitzed opposing quarterbacks, significantly impacting their performance. Though the Vikings' offense ranks last in yardage, they are poised for improvement with Kyler Murray expected to return from a concussion in Week 3. Meanwhile, the NFC North teams are struggling, with both the Lions and Bears facing significant defensive issues.
