The undefeated Minnesota Vikings host the Miami Dolphins on Sunday afternoon, and it’s primed to be a trap game.

The Minnesota Vikings are undefeated at 3-0 heading into their second home game at U.S. Bank Stadium, as they are set to host the Miami Dolphins.
It’s an interesting matchup for the Vikings. Kyler Murray is set to get his third start, and it will be without Justin Jefferson, who is set to miss the game with an ankle injury. It will be interesting to see what the offense will look like with an entire week of practice.
“I think it’s better for the rest of the group knowing the plan, knowing you know where they’re going to align, knowing how we’re going to call personnel groupings to get certain guys in the spots we want,” said head coach Kevin O’Connell on Friday. “We’ve been able to practice it. Some guys, including some of our young guys who have been here, like a Tai Felton or a Myles Price. It was their kind of first time going through it a little bit, as well as Jauan [Jennings].
“You know, Jauan being out there and being asked to do a little bit more than just maybe the position he’s gotten the reps at throughout the week of a game plan. So across the board, I think everybody will be much more comfortable, and I’m excited to see those guys play after kind of the week of prep we just got out of those guys.”
We know the defense is fantastic, but the offense is what needs work. Sunday’s game will give us a lot of that information, and here’s how you can watch it.
