#5 VIKINGS 
Sam Darnold is making plays, Brian Flores is doing a great job with the defense and Justin Jefferson is a game-wrecker. Combine that with Kevin O'Connell as head coach, and that's why they are 2-0.

#11 Minnesota Vikings
2-0
There aren't many better coaching staffs in the NFL than the one in Minnesota. Kevin O'Connell has Sam Darnold playing at a level he never consistently reached before. Brian Flores' defense held the 49ers to seven points through three quarters. Coaching matters, and that's why Minnesota is in first place in the NFC North.

#7. Minnesota Vikings: They destroyed a bad team in Week 1, then edged an excellent one Sunday. But old friend Danielle Hunter returns to the Twin Cities this weekend, and his Texans are sure to put the Vikes' humming Sam Darnold-to-Justin Jefferson connection to the test.

lol, edged? Spoken like a guy that didn't watch the game.

This was from their computer-generated, simulated season. Gotta love predictive models software in sports, completely useless.

Agreed, I mentioned this yesterday. The team might come out slow.
