The Minnesota Vikings and Pittsburgh Steelers are facing off this Sunday after each team won their opening game in Week 1 of the 2017 NFL season.

For the opening game of the season, last Monday’s matchup with the New Orleans Saints could not have gone much better for the Minnesota Vikings. The Vikings defeated the Saints 29-19 and it did not look difficult at all.

This week, Minnesota travels to Pittsburgh to face the Steelers who also won their kickoff game last Sunday over the Cleveland Browns. Pittsburgh got the victory thanks to their defense racking up a total of seven sacks and wide receiver Antonio Brown finishing his day with 11 catches for 182 yards.

It looks to be a tough matchup for the Vikings. But if they can play like they did in Week 1, it is hard to envision them coming out of Sunday’s game with a loss.

When Minnesota does take the field against the Steelers this week, who on the Vikings’ roster should be watched a little bit more closely than the rest of their teammates?
