The Minnesota Vikings are 5-0 to begin the year and are one of three remaining teams undefeated, joining the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. Through five weeks, the Vikings are believed to be one of the favorites to come out of the NFC, but where do they stand in Bleacher Report's power rankings heading into week six?
The B/R NFL staff have the Vikings third in the NFL, just ahead of the Buffalo Bills and just behind the Kansas City Chiefs:
The Minnesota Vikings moved to 5-0 on Sunday, and for the first time this season, things seemed to be clicking in all phases.
Having Justin Jefferson back in the lineup was huge, and it helped Kyler Murray deliver his best performance as a Viking so far. Aaron Jones returned from a first-quarter
knee injury and ran for 113 yards, while Minnesota's defense held the New Orleans Saints to a mere 142 total yards.

Minnesota has exceeded expectations this year by all accounts. Their 5-0 start has them firmly in the hunt for a top playoff seed. The Vikings are on bye this week, and their next matchup is against the Indianapolis Colts at home on October 25th.
