The bye week should allow the Vikings to get much needed rest

The Vikings are a (somewhat) surprising 5-0 to start the 2026 NFL season, but that doesn’t mean that there is room for improvement. One of the most important things for Minnesota is their health. Throughout the marathon of a 17-game season, the bumps and bruises can add up. All it takes is an injury to one of their star players to tank the rest of their season and end all Super Bowl dreams. 

Hopefully the team spent the week relaxing, because once week seven rolls around, all eyes should be on the Indianapolis Colts.
