The Minnesota Vikings are receiving increased recognition from sports analysts, notably FS1's Colin Cowherd, who placed them at No. 3 in his power rankings. This comes as they remain undefeated.

However, fellow FS1 commentator Nick Wright cautioned against the significance of Cowherd's rankings, noting a pattern of teams ranked third experiencing losses. The Vikings are set for a crucial matchup against the Green Bay Packers, who may be without quarterback Jordan Love.
