Week 15
Opponent: Cincinnati Bengals
2016 Record: 6-9
Playing the Bengals at home should not be a hard game for the Vikings.
This game should not be taken lightly though. This team had a down year but has the ability to turn things around. An improved Bengals team will likely be fighting for a playoff spot in the AFC.
Because of that, the Vikings must be ready to defend their house against head coach Mike Zimmer’s old team.
