Overall Grade vs The Texans – Grade: A-

It was nice to see the Vikings just sail over an opposing team. Getting output from all 3 phases showed what the developing potential of the 2016 Minnesota Vikings can be. this game didn’t display the ceiling they can reach, but still just a snapshot of what’s to come. As is the continuing trend with this team, it’s been everybody contributing, everybody standing strong, and nobody gives up.

Up next: Bye Week!

Next: Full game-by-game 2016 Vikings season preview

Yes, the Minnesota Vikings will have a bye week to rest up and hopefully heal some of their injuries. Not only that, but the squad will have extra time to prepare for what should be a tough matchup against the high-flying Philadelphia Eagles during week 7.
