The matchup that has been rumored for weeks is now official.
The National Football League released its schedule for the games in this year’s International Series on Wednesday morning, and our Minnesota Vikings will be making another trip to the United Kingdom. This time, they will be taking on the New Orleans Saints on 2 October, which will be a Week 4 matchup.
While teams are no longer automatically given a bye week following an international matchup anymore, it seems like this means the Vikings will be getting an early bye week.
