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
