ESPN comments:

What do the Vikings have to worry about after winning four straight? Case Keenum really hasn't been tested that much, and who knows if and when Sam Bradford or Teddy Bridgewater could return? Keenum is 2-2 against opponents who entered the game with a winning record, including a win over the Packers when Aaron Rodgers was injured.

The biggest riser of the week is the Carolina Panthers jumping seven spots from #19 to #12. The biggest fall of the week belongs to the Oakland Raiders dropping eleven spots from #10 to #21.

The Vikes enjoy their bye week, before returning to action on November 12th against the Redskins in Washington D.C.
