The Minnesota Vikings are an intriguing team heading into the 2020 regular season. They were a 10-win team in 2019 and upset the New Orleans Saints in the Wild Card Round. They are hoping to take the next step this season.
Kirk Cousins signed a two-year contract extension which means he is locked up for the next three years. Cousins has been heavily criticized because of the size of his contract, but a playoff win in New Orleans will silence some doubters. He will look to up his game this season which would be a huge boost for the entire club.
Minnesota made it a point to add some weapons for Cousins. They traded Stefon Diggs to Buffalo and received a first-round pick. This gave them two in total and they used one on LSU standout receiver Justin Jefferson. Paired with Adam Thielen and Dalvin Cook, Jefferson will help the Vikings sport an elite offensive group.
The Vikings are a complete team on paper and they will try to transfer that onto the field. Here are four bold predictions for the Vikings during the 2020 season.
