The Vikings still have plenty of their schedule left to play, but they’ve been soundly beaten by Green Bay and Indianapolis over the first two weeks of this strange pandemic season.

All Jordan Howard does is score touchdowns. He bowled in from the 1-yard line, giving him 14 carries for 12 yards and three touchdowns this season.
