Vikings Depth Chart, Week 12 vs. Patriots

The Minnesota Vikings are three-point favorites at home this weekend versus the New England Patriots. Minnesota sits atop the NFC North, thanks to five losses in six games by the Green Bay Packers. New England is 6-4 after beating the New York Jets in Week 11, needing a win to keep pace in the ultra-competitive AFC East.

The Vikings haven’t beaten the Patriots since 2000, losing five times in a row during the Tom Brady era. Brady now works in Tampa Bay, but Bill Belichick remains.

The Vikings injury report is in iffy shape, as Irv Smith is on the shelf for approximately seven weeks, Cameron Dantzler for two, and perhaps Dalvin Tomlinson, Akayleb Evans, and Andrew Booth out, too.
