Minnesota Vikings: Ranking non-divisional games in 2019
By Luke Parrish
3. Week 9 at Kansas City Chiefs
Reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes and the Kansas City Chiefs host the Vikings in Week 9. The Chiefs are an exciting team with a boatload of talent. Mahomes has ridiculous arm talent and an unfair abundance of talent at his disposal. Head coach Andy Reid is one of the brightest offensive minds in the NFL. He and Mike Zimmer will go head-to-head in a strategic venture at Arrowhead Stadium.
There are so many intriguing individual matchups to watch in this game. Travis Kelce and Anthony Barr in the middle of the field. Mahomes will have to find ways around the pass rush. Tyreek Hill, if still on the roster, will face a tough task in Xavier Rhodes.
On the other side, the Vikings receivers will have to find ways to beat Kendall Fuller and Tyrann Mathieu. The Vikings offensive line will have their hands full with Frank Clark and Chris Jones. The talent on the field will be unmatched.
If both teams are healthy, this has the potential to be one of the best games of the NFL season. It could be a shootout with fireworks all over the place. It could be a hard-fought game won by the defense. The possibilities are endless.
The Vikings have not won in Kansas City since 1974.
