The Minnesota Vikings are one-point underdogs versus the Seattle Seahawks on Sunday at U.S. Bank Stadium.

Seeking to avoid an 0-3 season hole, Minnesota must outlast Seattle, a team coming off a depressing loss to the Tennessee Titans.

Also, here is the injury report — no Barr, Darrisaw, or Hand. Dalvin Cook is questionable.

And last week just before the Cardinals loss, Minnesota deactivated these players: Kellen Mond (QB), Anthony Barr (LB),  Harrison Hand (CB), Christian Darrisaw  (LT), Everson Griffen (DE), James Lynch (DT), and Chazz Surratt (LB). Griffen should avoid deactivation this week.
