Through four games, the Minnesota Vikings are a hard team to gauge.
They’ve shown flashes of dominance, like the fourth quarter of the season opener against the Chicago Bears, and the first half of their Week 3 home game against the Cincinnati Bengals.
But over the balance of this young 2025 season to date, the Vikings have found themselves locked in tight football games — and playing from behind — against a bunch of teams that should be below their weight class.
Injuries have piled up at a frustrating clip. It’s barely October, and Minnesota could be without opening day starters at quarterback, running back, right tackle, left guard, center, middle linebacker, and edge defender.
