What you need to know about the Vikings

Although 5-6 and three games behind Green Bay in the NFC North, the Vikings have won four of five following their bye to pull within a game of the NFC's final wild card spot. Welcoming a reeling Jaguars squad that has lost 10 straight is certainly a good omen, as Jacksonville just fired its GM and is going to start veteran journeyman Mike Glennon over the healthy Gardner Minshew at quarterback.

Minnesota should enter Sunday's game with a full complement of skill position players, as wide receiver Adam Thielen has been activated off the COVID-19 list and running back Dalvin Cook (ankle) appears ready to go. Cook ranks second in the NFL with 1,130 rushing yards and is No. 1 with 13 rushing touchdowns. Cook has averaged 5.1 yards on 127 carries while running for six touchdowns in the past five games.

What you need to know about the Jaguars

Jacksonville fell 27-25 to the Cleveland Browns this past Sunday. The Jaguars now have their worst record in franchise history after 11 games. Their 10th consecutive loss set a franchise record. Mike Glennon completed 20 of 35 passes for 235 yards and two TDs vs. 0 INTs for a 96.7 rating in his first start of the season. It was his first start since Week 4 of the 2017 season. 

James Robinson had a career-high 159 scrimmage yards (128 rushing) and a rushing TD last week, his sixth game with 100-plus scrimmage yards, tied for the second most by undrafted rookie in the common draft era. He has 90-plus scrimmage yards in his last five games. 

Robinson leads all rookies with 1,170 scrimmage yards and 890 rushing yards and ranks second with six rushing TDs. Minnesota ranks third in the NFL when it comes to rushing touchdowns allowed, with only six on the season. D.J. Chark (ribs) missed Week 12 and is expected to return vs. Minnesota.
