Future Suddenly
Rich Storry-USA TODAY Sports.

The Minnesota Vikings host a Week 13 game with the New York Jets on Sunday at noon pm CST, the 12th regular season game of the 2022 season.

The Vikings beat the New England Patriots in Week 12, while the Jets thumped the Chicago Bears in East Rutherford, 31-10. New York, now 7-4 through 11 games, temporarily holds the AFC’s seventh playoff seed.

The Vikings injury report is improving, although cornerstone left tackle Christian Darrisaw won’t play this weekend.

New York has four players formally on the injury report.

These are each team’s injured players one day before Week 13.

Jets players D.J. Reed (CB), Kenny Yeboah (TE), and Sheldon Rankins (NT) were hampered or didn’t partake in practice at points throughout the week but were removed from the final injury report.

The Vikings are favored by three points over the Jets in Week 13. New York leads the all-time win-loss series over Minnesota, 8-3 (.727). The Jets haven’t beaten the Vikings since 2010, though.

If the Vikings win on Sunday, they will have swept the AFC East teams in 2022, a division considered the NFL’s best.
