Official Texans vs. Vikings Game Thread, 10/4/2020

[Arky]

The 0-3 Minnesota Vikings visit the 0-3 Texans this Sunday in an early game on FOX. Unless there's a tie, someone will still have a goose egg in the win column after the game. The Texans are coming off a 28-21 road loss at Pittsburgh, the Vikings are coming off a 31-30 home loss to the Tennessee Titans. Players to watch on the Vikings are QB Kirk Cousins, RB Dalvin Cook and rookie WR Justin Jefferson (LSU) who had 7 catches for 175 yards, 1 TD versus the Titans.

The Vikings are one of two teams the Texans have never beaten - 0-4 all time (the other team is the Eagles). These two last met in 2016 in Minnesota with the Vikings winning 31-13.

The Vikings have already fallen to the Colts and Titans so it will be some measure to see how well the Texans do. I'm gonna pick the Texans here but I would not be surprised if the Vikings win:

Texans 30, Vikings 28

Most of the country is getting Chargers at the Bradyneers.

The other three options are Indy at Chicago, Baltimore at the Washington Weinerschnitzels, and the Minshews against the Bungels.

Cam Newton has tested positive so the Pats vs. Chiefs is scrubbed for CBS late game. There's talk of the two teams playing on Monday.

In the meantime, Sunday's late game on CBS will be:

Indianapolis @ Chicago, Greg Gumbel, Rich Gannon
