3 Things Colts Must Do to Upset Vikings

With the Indianapolis Colts traveling north to Minneapolis, they will need to account for some big names if they want to top the Minnesota Vikings.

As the Indianapolis Colts took part in practice this week, interim head coach Jeff Saturday had a chant blaring over the loudspeakers.

“SKOL!” “SKOL!” “SKOL!”

The Colts will hear much more of that chant on Saturday as thousands of Minnesota Vikings fans shout it loudly and proudly. Indy (4-8-1) heads to U.S. Bank Stadium attempting to play spoiler as the Vikings (10-3) try to clinch the NFC North with a win. The Colts would also like to break their three-game losing streak, with their last win coming against the Las Vegas Raiders on November 13th.

To beat the Vikings, the Colts must account for the heavy hitters on the opposite sideline. Here are the three keys to victory for the Colts on Saturday.
