The Minnesota Vikings started the season strong with a five-game winning streak, but recent losses have raised questions about their defense's effectiveness against top quarterbacks.
As they prepare to face the Indianapolis Colts, safety Harrison Smith emphasizes the importance of home-field advantage at U.S. Bank Stadium. The Vikings hope to regain momentum after a tough stretch, especially with tight end T.J. Hockenson returning from injury to bolster their passing game.
Colts quarterback Joe Flacco, stepping in for the injured Anthony Richardson, brings experience that could challenge the Vikings' defensive schemes. Meanwhile, Vikings wide receiver Jordan Addison is looking to improve his performance after a slow start to the season.
