What happened: The Minnesota Vikings bring a 5-0 record and a five-game winning streak into their Week 7 home game. Minnesota last played on Oct. 11, winning 23-13 on the road.

Why it matters: Maintaining an undefeated mark bolsters Minnesota's NFC standing as the front office evaluates the trade market. Less than three weeks remain before the Nov. 10 NFL deadline locks 2026 rosters.

By the numbers: Minnesota's defense allows a league-best 22% conversion rate on third down.

What to watch: Minnesota plays its Week 7 home contest on Sunday as the three-week window before the Nov. 10 trade cutoff begins.
