The Minnesota Vikings and Miami Dolphins are trending in opposite directions as they prepare for their matchup Sunday at 1 p.m. in Miami Gardens, Fla. The Vikings (4-1), who have lost three of the past four meetings with the Dolphins, have won three in a row overall and sit atop the NFC North standings heading into Week 6.
Kirk Cousins threw two touchdown passes, Harrison Smith forced a crucial fourth-quarter fumble and the Vikings made a number of key plays for their best start since 2016.
The Miami Dolphins won’t have Tua Tagovailoa on Sunday, despite him being a full participant in Friday’s Practice. However, if Teddy Bridgewater clears the next step in concussion protocols, he will back up Skylar Thompson in the rookie’s first NFL start. If not, Reid Sinnett will be called up from the practice squad + Darth Kader "doubtful," Terron Armstead, and much more!
What are realistic expectations for Skylar Thompson s first NFL start? How important is the Minnesota game? Those and other questions from Miami Dolphins fans
