As the Vikings prepare for a crucial game against the Texans, another unbeaten side, they are feeling quite confident.
After defeating the Indianapolis Colts and Chicago Bears, the Houston Texans are 2-0 to open the 2024 season. The Texans season may be off to a strong start, but they still have to show progress in a few areas before the league considers them to be serious Super Bowl candidates.
This week, they will have the opportunity to keep getting better when they play the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings, who are also off to an unexpected 2-0 start, are largely thanks to quarterback Sam Darnold, who has performed admirably in J.J. McCarthy's absence.
