Rolling out of a bed of misery on Monday from the Minnesota Vikings loss on Sunday – it has to get better, right?
No, not necessarily.
There is, however, solace in the fact Minnesota will play three games consecutively at U.S. Bank Stadium. When fans are present at the venue, the Vikings are the NFL’s second-best home team since the glass edifice opened. Minnesota was 24-9 (including playoffs) from 2016 to 2019 at home, trailing only the New England Patriots in the fans-present homefield advantage metric. The Vikings will play three games at home before heading to North Carolina for a date with the 2-0 Panthers in Week 6.
