The NFL is nothing if not unpredictable. After all, two weeks into the 2024 campaign, who expected the Minnesota Vikings to be 2-0, or the Baltimore Ravens and Cincinnati Bengals to be a combined 0-4?

Not many expected this game to be played between two 2-0 teams but Minnesota has shocked a lot of people so far. Quarterback Sam Darnold has stepped up but will have a tough test against a talented Texans defensive unit. If he can help the Vikings get a big win at home against Houston, Minnesota will fully be taken seriously the rest of the way.
