After a long, long offseason, we have finally made it to the kickoff of the 2023 NFL season.
Week 1 will for the Minnesota Vikings will kick off in the friendly confines of U.S. Bank Stadium, where the purple will play host to their former NFC Central rivals, the Tampa Bay Buccaneers. This is a matchup of two teams that won division championships in 2022, but did so in very different ways.
As we know, the Vikings went 13-4 last year and went 11-0 in games that were decided by one score. Obviously, that sort of performance isn’t sustainable over the long term, but hopefully with new defensive coordinator Brian Flores bringing some new aggression to that side of the football, the Vikings can actually win a bit more comfortably going forward.
