What happened: Minnesota's rally from 33 points down in 2022 remains the largest comeback in NFL history. The matchup returns Sunday at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS, Paramount+, and NFL+.

Why it matters: The Vikings entered the 2026 season opener with split expectations before opening the regular season 5-0 to claim the No. 2 seed. Minnesota enters the weekend on a five-game winning streak following a 23-13 road victory on Oct. 11, with the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline less than three weeks away.

By the numbers: Minnesota holds a 5-0 record (W5 streak, No. 2 seed) in the 2026 regular season and won its previous game 23-13 on Oct. 11. The franchise's NFL-record comeback in 2022 overcame a 33-0 deficit for a 39-36 overtime result.

What to watch: Kickoff is set for Sunday, Oct. 25 at 1:00 p.m. ET on CBS and Paramount+ ahead of the Nov. 10 NFL trade deadline.
