Vikings Game Preview for matchup against the Colts in Week 7

The Minnesota Vikings enjoyed their Bye Week while the rest of the NFL dueled it out on the field in Week 6. They come into Week 7 recharged and ready to take on the Indianapolis Colts, who are dealing with some chaos of their own.

For the Vikings, though, they will be looking to set the tone early with their defense getting pressure on their former quarterback, Daniel Jones. On offense, all eyes will be on Kyler Murray, who hopes to build off what was a strong Week 5. He will have some extra attention after former Vikings quarterback J.J. McCarthy looked strong in his debut with the Giants. The Vikings will be focused on themselves, though, and making an example of the Colts.

Here is our preview of the interesting matchup taking place in Week 7.
