Vikings have a shocking power ranking position heading into Week 3

It’s no secret that the Minnesota Vikings are one of the most surprising teams in the league after their 2-0 start to the season. While many would have predicted the Vikings would get off to a 1-0 start with a game against the New York Giants, few would have predicted they would be undefeated after an early season matchup against NFC giants the San Francisco 49ers.

Yet, that’s exactly where the Vikings stand heading into their Week 3 matchup against the Houston Texans. While some still have doubts about the Vikings and where they stand in the league, one NFL analyst now appears to be fully behind the team.

In his latest power rankings, Fox Sports’ NFL analyst Bucky Brooks has the Vikings surprisingly high. After an upset win over the 49ers, Brooks has the Vikings all the way up at #4, just behind the Kansas City Chiefs, New Orleans Saints — another contender for most surprising team in the league to start the season — and the Philadelphia Eagles.

Minnesota heads into their Week 3 matchup against the Texans with some key questions surrounding the wide receiver positionBoth Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison are recovering from injuries and their status is uncertain. If Minnesota can find a way to pull out the win and move to 3-0 on the season, it will be interesting to see where Brooks takes them.
