7 Colts weaknesses the Vikings can exploit in Week 2

Home-field advantage is no longer that much of a perk

Eight road teams won matchups during Week 1 of the 2020 season. That’s 50 percent. This alone is not indisputable proof that home-field advantage is temporarily paused amid the COVID-19 pandemic, but it does show that a couple more road teams were successful, if only for a week.

With the Vikings, the lack of a home-field advantage against the Packers was both wildly evident and unfortunately detrimental. Aaron Rodgers drew Minnesota’s defensive linemen offsides a few times and it was apparent that he was able to dictate Green Bay’s offense with ease.

Minnesota will now try its hand at leveraging the lack of home-field advantage in its favor. Although the NFL permits some simulated fan noise, a comparison to the norm is laughable.

The Vikings did not have their rowdy fans to propel the team to victory last week and the Colts will encounter the same phenomenon this Sunday.
