The Minnesota Vikings are looking to pivot back in the right direction and return to the NFL playoffs in 2019. While they draw a tough set of opponents this season, the Vikings have an immense amount of talent on both sides of the ball. In turn, there’s plenty of confidence in their chances to make the jump back into the postseason.
We already know who Minnesota will face this season, as the opponents were released at the end of last year, but the full schedule is set to be released soon. Every NFL team will know its 2019 schedule on Wednesday, April 17 at 8 p.m. ET when it’s revealed by the league.
