Minnesota Vikings 2018 schedule release: Games, dates and times

The Vikings seemed destined for a Super Bowl appearance in their home stadium in 2017, but they’ll look for redemption with their 2018 schedule.

The Minnesota Vikings have been a team on the brink of greatness for years at this point, dating back to Blair Walsh’s blown field goal against the Seattle Seahawks in the playoffs a few years ago. Now, they’ll try to finally reach the Promised Land with a new quarterback under center.

The team made waves in free agency when they went after former Washington Redskins quarterback Kirk Cousins to lead their offense, rather than picking from their quarterback carousel of Case Keenum, Sam Bradford and Teddy Bridgewater. With Cousins under center and a stellar defense coming back from last year, they’ll look to succeed in their tough schedule in 2018.
