The Minnesota Vikings have gotten off to a brutal start to the 2020 NFL season. After being viewed as a potentially serious contender in the NFC to begin the year, the Vikings are now 0-3 and there are legitimate reasons to be concerned.
Kirk Cousins has looked downright awful so far this season. He has completed 59 percent of his pass attempts for 623 yards, five touchdowns, and six interceptions. Those numbers are not going to cut it.
So far this season, the Vikings have been missing star wide receiver Stefon Diggs. Rookie wideout Justin Jefferson showed big-time potential last week, but the chemistry between Cousins and his receivers is off. Part of that could be because of Kevin Stefanski leaving his role as offensive coordinator during the offseason to become the head coach of the Browns.
One bright spot for the Vikings this season has been star running back Dalvin Cook. He has carried the football 48 times for 294 yards and four touchdowns. Minnesota needs more players to step up consistently.
All of that being said, let’s dive in and take a look at four bold predictions for the Vikings in Week 4 against the Texans.
