The Vikings have officially designated RB Jordan Mason to return from IR. He’ll return to practice Wednesday. A big boost for the run game. Should take some of the load off of Aaron Jones, who has been a warrior in Mason’s absence.

The Vikings have started 6-0, six times in their 65 year history - 1973, 1975, 1998, 2000, 2003 & 2009. 5 of the 6 times, they made the playoffs. 4 Times, they advanced to the NFC Championship game of Super Bowl. During the Bye week, we will revisit the 6th win in each season. pic.twitter.com/vGZOfknAUG

The First time the Vikings Went 6-0: 1973 vs the Eagles. Fran Tarkenton and John Gillian have huge days, and Minnesota never trails and the final score we made closer by a late Philly score. Vikes for to 6-0 with a 28-21 win. @Fran_Tarkenton pic.twitter.com/lyWDXOp8BW

MIN went to a record of 6-0 (2nd time in Franchise history) vs CHI in 1975 on Monday Night Football. Chuck Foreman rushed for over 100 yards and Jim Lash scored the only touchdown in a 13-9 MIN win. NFL Films rarely filmed MNF in the 1970s, so this is the only film we have. pic.twitter.com/Ep3O0f64ai

Enjoy the 1998 Interview with "Three Deep" (Jake Reed, Cris Carter and Randy Moss" before the 5-0 Vikings went for their 3rd 6-0 start in franchise history (we will show you those game highlights on Wednesday). @JakeReed86 @criscarter80 @RandyMoss pic.twitter.com/GumVtMqYM7

The third time that Minnesota started the season 6-0 was in 1998 vs the Redskins. The Vikings smoked Washington 41-7 on their way to a 15-1 regular season record. pic.twitter.com/mMYsVTeG4y

The 4th time the Vikings started the season at least 6-0 and it was 2000. The new starter was Daunte Culepper and he ripped it up that season. If not for Peyton Manning, he was likely the MVP. Here are photos from the win vs the Bears in game 6. @Robert26Smith pic.twitter.com/ZQw5Id7Qpx

This is actually the 5th time.

The 6th time in Viking Franchise history that Minnesota started the season 6-0. Few remember the game, but any Viking fan who is old enough, remembers the play in the 2003 season vs the Broncos. Culpepper to Randy Moss to Moe Williams lateral for the long score! @RandyMoss pic.twitter.com/3Qso5XcHmI

The 6th and FINAL Time (we will show the 5th on Saturday 10/17) the Vikings started a season 6-0. Favre throws for 2 scores, Sidney Rice has 176 receiving & Peterson had 143 on the ground. A FG miss by BALT was still needed as time ran out to secure the 33-31 win. @sidneyrice pic.twitter.com/pKGP0NR1QX

Preparing for Colts Week, we thought we show you that Fran Tarkenton was more than just a scrambler, he would tuck it and run just like Kyler Murray. Here is Fran in 1966 vs the Colts at the Met. He had some jets! @Fran_Tarkenton pic.twitter.com/GtPeIFfWpq

Over the years, the Vikings have had a number of mascots. Most just remember Hub Meeds, Ragnar and the stuffed animal ones. But, in 1966, this was what the team trotted out. A Viking with a dog, wearing the bathroom shag mat, and homemade horns, sunglasses and facial hair. pic.twitter.com/rb0NdXEjbt

It isn’t being ruled out that the #Vikings look to acquire #Colts RB Jonathan Taylor, per @alec_lewis. It certainly sounds like Minnesota will at least call on his availability:

Antoine Winfield Jr would be a cool story if he was traded to the #Vikings. His dad was a pro bowl corner, and one of the most underrated players in franchise history. https://t.co/Cl49HkFGHQ pic.twitter.com/NClmYdVeKt

Just a reminder ~ This is the game that Paul Allen will sound the Gjallarhorn. It's his 500th game.

Kyle Van Noy took the entire #Vikings defensive line out to dinner when he first signed here to get to know everyone, per @Entrepreneur.

Van Noy has been an impactful player for Minnesota this season. pic.twitter.com/c9RcsmA3Ac
