Following last week’s release of the 2017 NFL schedule, Sports Illustrated’s Chris Burke ranked the 10 teams he feels have the most difficult schedule.
Based on the way Minnesota’s schedule is laid out, Burke opined that the Vikings have the eighth-most-challenging schedule in the league. He wrote:
Another team that could get burned by an overly road-heavy stretch. The Vikings will enjoy the friendly U.S. Bank Stadium confines five times in the first seven weeks, then head to England to play Cleveland in Week 8. That all sets up for a hot start.
