In Week 7, the Vikings are nearly guaranteed to lose. San Francisco is the best team in the NFL, a remarkable reality when we consider how much they spent on Trey Lance (who is now in Dallas). The Kwesi decision, though, may be made before that game arrives.
What may be more consequential is the result from Week 6. The Vikings travel to Soldier Field for a date with the rebuilding Chicago Bears, a team that also has a 1-4 record. While Minnesota’s GM has been consistent in his desire to thread the needle within a balanced approach to reconstructing the roster, Chicago’s GM has placed no such limitations upon himself.
