Minnesota Vikings maintain undefeated 6-0 start

Overview

The Minnesota Vikings have extended their undefeated start to 6-0 for the 2026 NFL season. Following a 15-10 victory over the Miami Dolphins and a 23-13 win against the New Orleans Saints, the team most recently secured a 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium.

This win leaves Minnesota as the last undefeated team in the NFL, following losses by the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. While the offense has faced scrutiny for a lack of explosiveness—ranking 27th in the league in yards per game—the defense coordinated by Brian Flores continues to dominate. The unit has allowed a league-low 74 points this season. In the Colts matchup, linebacker Blake Cashman recorded 12 tackles and two sacks, while safety Harrison Smith secured his 40th career interception.

Quarterback Kyler Murray has faced criticism for inconsistency, contributing only 150 passing yards and one touchdown during the victory over Indianapolis. Analysts have noted the team’s heavy reliance on defensive stops to compensate for the low-scoring offensive unit.

Injuries remain a factor for the roster. Running back Aaron Jones is considered day-to-day after aggravating a knee injury during the Colts game, though reports suggest the injury may not be significant.

Off the field, the team is preparing for the November 10 trade deadline. General manager Nolan Teasley is expected to be “really, really active” in seeking talent. Reports suggest the front office remains open to trading wide receiver Jauan Jennings due to low production and reported tension with head coach Kevin O’Connell. To bolster depth, the team has recently signed Odell Beckham Jr. and hosted several veterans for workouts during their Week 6 bye.
