It’s a fairly difficult schedule on paper considering Minnesota opens the season with three of their first five on the road, and then closes the season with three of four on the road, including against expected NFC powers Tampa Bay and New Orleans.
The Christmas Day game at New Orleans could be extra tough considering it’ll come just five days after a division battle against the Bears.
Minnesota faces the Cowboys four days before Thanksgiving, followed by the return of Teddy Bridgewater to U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 12 against the Carolina Panthers.
