The Steelers, coming off a big 20-19 win over the Ravens, will meet the Vikings in “Thursday Night Football” in Week 14. who gift-wrapped the Lions their first win of the season last week.
The Vikings (5-7) are currently on a two-game losing streak after gift-wrapping the Lions their first win of the season last week, while the Steelers (6-5-1) just ended their two-game skid with the win over Baltimore. Both teams are currently in the hunt for the playoffs which makes this a pivotal clash as we enter the regular season stretch run. The Steelers rank No. 9 in the AFC standings, while the Vikings rank No. 10 in the NFC standings.

A potential matchup between two of the NFL’s most productive running backs could be off the table depending on the status of Minnesota’s Dalvin Cook, officially listed as questionable due to a shoulder injury. Cook’s 773 rushing yards ranks seventh in the NFL and if he’s unable to go, the burden will fall on Alexander Mattison who rushed for 90 yards on 22 carries while filling in for Cook last week.
Pittsburgh’s Najee Harris ranks sixth in the league so far this year with 779 rushing yards although he’s struggled to consistently net big runs, falling shy of 4.0 yards per carry in nine of his 12 games so far this season.
The Vikings opened as three-point favorites, according to DraftKings Sportsbook.
