The Vikings have returned from their bye week as one of six teams in the NFC with a mark of .500 or better.
Heading into Week 5, Minnesota (2-2) was one of six teams in the NFC that had split its first four games.
Four of those teams — Dallas, Washington, St. Louis and Seattle — lost Sunday. Only the New York Giants improved to 3-2 with late-game heroics.
The Vikings will host the Chiefs at noon (CT) Sunday. Kansas City has dropped four in a row, including games against three unbeaten teams: Denver, at Green Bay and at Cincinnati.
