The Minnesota Vikings look to build a three-game winning streak while getting their first road win.
Pass rush is a plenty in this matchupWith how important the QB position is and with the enforcement of rules often times favoring the passing game, pass rushing is a premium in the NFL.
Who’s not: The Vikings’ passing attack. Teddy Bridgewater is completing 67.6 percent of his passes for 505 yards, one touchdown and two interceptions. Charles Johnson, Justin Trattou and Xavier Rhodes are questionable.
On the season, the Minnesota Vikings average 149.7 yards in passing and 144.3 yards in rushing. In the receiving end, Demaryius Thomas had 92 yards and one touchdown in nine receptions while Emmanuel Sanders added 87 yards in six receptions. On the ground Chris Anderson rushed for eight yards in eight attempts while Ronnie Hillman added 13 yards and one touchdown in seven carries. Juwan Thompson, Kayvon Webster and Kenny Anunike are questionable.
Thus, while Peyton Manning ( a season-best 73.8 completion percentage against the Lions and his first 300-yard game of the 2015 campaign) seems to be figuring things out, the defense has been gangbusters in the early going and helped the Broncos to a 3-0 start, keeping them atop the AFC West by their lonesome for another week.

“For that ball to tip up perfectly right to me and have a convoy of blockers in front of me to take me 91 yards, it was pretty cool”, Greenway told KSTP’s Joe Schmit. While the Broncos offense has a few serious holes and has NO running game at all, Denver is tough to beat in Denver and still has No. 18 leading the way.
