Vikings Get a Little Shade from ESPN

Among the Minnesota Vikings' fan base, hopes are high for 2026, mainly because the club acquired Kyler Murray in March and finished last season with a winning record despite mostly miserable quarterback play.

But ESPN does not share that optimism, nominating Minnesota's roster as the 11th-worst in the NFL heading into training camp. If Minnesota makes something of the season, it will do so without the sign-off of ESPN.
