MINNEAPOLIS — The traveling circus hits the road for next five games, a stretch that could make or break the Raiders’ season.
First up are the Minnesota Vikings Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium, a team that resembles the Denver team the Raiders beat in Week 1 more than a Chiefs team which prevailed in Oakland.
The Vikings (1-1) have a defensive-minded coach in Mike Zimmer with experienced and talented personnel on that side of the ball, and a (so far) run-first offense that will test the Raiders’ toughness and resolve.
