We’ve finally arrived. The 16-game journey begins now.
After months of an offseason that included free agency, the draft, minicamp practices, a two-week training camp stay in Mankato and a quartet of preseason games, the Vikings are ready to get things started for real.
Minnesota opens its 2016 season at noon (CT) Sunday on the road against the Tennessee Titans.
Tennessee is 5-27 over the past two seasons, but the Titans have won their past two season openers.
The Vikings will try to defend their NFC North title and get back to the playoffs for a second straight year after going 11-5 in 2015.
