After eleven straight grueling weeks of football, the Minnesota Vikings are finally enjoying a a much-needed and well-deserved week off. For nearly four straight months, the team has spent the majority of their time together at TCO Performance Center or on the road. The brief hiatus will see the players and staff scatter about the country before they regroup to prepare for a big Week 13 Monday night game in Seattle. Everyone is planning on spending the bye week differently:
