Vikings 3 Keys To Ensure Victory Over The Colts Sunday

purplePTSD writer Steve Hoikkala outlines three strategic keys for the undefeated 5-0 Minnesota Vikings to defeat the Indianapolis Colts on Sunday. The matchup features returning offensive contributors Jordan Mason, Jordan Addison, Christian Darrisaw, and T.J. Hockenson following Minnesota's bye week. Hoikkala argues that Minnesota must establish its ground attack against Indianapolis's 21st-ranked run defense while containing Colts running back Jonathan Taylor.

Additionally, Hoikkala highlights that quarterback Kyler Murray must successfully execute against man coverage with his full assortment of weapons available. Limiting Taylor and forcing Colts quarterback Daniel Jones to throw against Minnesota's top-ranked defense are cited as critical factors, along with capitalizing on an Indianapolis secondary missing cornerback Sauce Gardner.
