Which key matchups could go a long way in leading to a Minnesota Vikings win in their Week 3 game against the Los Angeles Chargers?

It is week 3 of the NFL season, and the 0-2 Los Angeles Chargers are coming into town to face off against the 0-2 Minnesota Vikings.

One team should be leaving this week with their first win, though a tie is always an option, and with the past luck of these two franchises, a tie is never out of the question. Minnesota is currently the betting favorite to win this week, so can they finally pull off a much-needed victory?

The Chargers will once again be without dynamic running back Austin Ekeler, along with longtime former Vikings linebacker Eric Kendricks. Los Angeles pass rusher Joey Bosa is also questionable, leaving the status of many big-named Chargers either out or up in the air.

As they prepare to face a banged-up Los Angeles team on Sunday, what are some of the key matchups the Vikings need to win in order to leave the field with a victory in Week 3?
