POLL: Vikings Are 5-0, How Many More Games Will They Win?

The Minnesota Vikings are 5-0 going into their bye week. How does the rest of the season look? Vote now!

MINNEAPOLIS, MN — The Minnesota Vikings are starting the season 5-0 for the first time since 2009, when Brett Favre was the starting quarterback and the team made it to all the way NFC Championship.

The Vikings are the only remaining undefeated team in league, and much of the credit for their success has gone to the team's stellar defense under head coach Mike Zimmer, which has given up the fewest points in the NFL with only 12.6 allowed per game.

Quarterback Sam Bradford, who thought he'd be starting for the Philadelphia Eagles until the Vikings traded for him Sept. 3, just days before their first regular season game, has also performed well.

Bradford started for the Vikings week two, and he has yet to throw an interception and has six touchdown passes.

The question it seems every NFL analyst is asking is, "how long will the Vikings' winning streak go on?" Or, as Vikings play-by-play caller Paul Allen would say, where will we find the #VikingsFirstLoss?
