The Minnesota Vikings are preparing to host the Arizona Cardinals at U.S. Bank Stadium, where the home-field advantage remains significant despite changing trends in the NFL. The Vikings, currently 9-2, are looking to capitalize on their crowd's energy as they pursue a playoff spot.
Vikings safety Josh Metellus emphasized the impact of the crowd noise on opponents, while coach Kevin O'Connell aims to keep the team focused on improvement. The Cardinals, led by quarterback Kyler Murray, are looking to bounce back after a recent loss.
Murray's dual-threat capabilities pose a challenge for the Vikings' defense, which has shown improvement this season. The matchup is critical for both teams as they navigate the playoff race.
