What happened: The Los Angeles Chargers and Minnesota Vikings are the only two NFL teams that have yet to score at least 10 offensive touchdowns this season. While the Chargers have struggled across the board en route to an 0-6 start, the 6-0 Vikings have remained undefeated despite limited offensive touchdown output.

Why it matters: The disparity highlights contrasting formulas, with Minnesota securing the NFC's top seed through defensive control while Los Angeles sits at the bottom of the AFC standings. Sustaining an unbeaten pace without prolific touchdown numbers places continued pressure on Minnesota's defense. For the winless Chargers, the inability to finish drives has compounded a six-game losing streak entering the second half of the season.

By the numbers: Minnesota holds a 6-0 record and the NFC's No. 1 seed following a 16-10 win over Indianapolis. Los Angeles sits at 0-6 in 16th place in the AFC after falling 22-6 at Kansas City, leaving both franchises as the league's only rosters with single-digit offensive touchdowns through six games.

What to watch: Both clubs return to action ahead of the NFL's Nov. 10 trade deadline, with Los Angeles seeking its first victory and Minnesota aiming to preserve its unbeaten record.
