With the likelihood that no players will remain sidelined for the next matchup, Patrick Mahomes and the team can make the best use of their players to face the underdog Vikings after four years.

Chiefs vs. Vikings: Who will win?

The Vikings will play their inaugural home game against the reigning Super Bowl champion Chiefs this Sunday. The Vikings and Chiefs have met 13 times in the league, with Kansas City leading 8-5, including a Super Bowl IV victory. The last time the Vikings faced the Chiefs was back in 2019, when quarterback Patrick Mahomes was out with a sprained ankle. Kansas City has won three of the last five meetings between the teams.

It’s interesting to note that both of Minnesota’s victories (45-20) in 2003, and (16-10) in 2015, occurred on the Vikings’ home field, where they are 4-2 against the Chiefs. Considering the latest performances and injury reports, it’s speculated that the reigning champions, who are in good form, have a good chance of securing a victory for Kansas City. However, the Vikings, known for their ability to make late-game comebacks, strong passing game, and the advantage of playing on their home turf, could potentially secure their second win of the season.

The final results will be revealed on Sunday, October 8, at 4:25 p.m. ET at the U.S. Bank Stadium. Who do you think will emerge victorious in Sunday’s game?
