EAGAN, Minn. — Vikings, Cowboys, Halloween, U.S. Bank Stadium at night. Oh yeah, did we mention a national television audience on NBC's Sunday Night Football? It's the kind of scene that could make even the most devout fans in Purple ready to say "giddyap," and it is scheduled to happen in...

3. Prep for the post-bye stretch The Vikings play six games before their Week 7 bye (Oct. 24). And looking at the schedule and the games they face following the break, winning early will be key – particularly if they can take advantage of a three-home-game stretch against the Seahawks...
