Vikings reach 5-0 while navigating key injuries

Minnesota beat New Orleans 23-13 to reach 5-0, with a defense that allowed only 96 passing yards and produced two interceptions. Hockenson’s concussion and the statuses of Darrisaw, Mason, Jefferson, Addison, and O’Neill remain central to the outlook, while the post-bye stretch against the Colts, Lions, Bills, and Packers looms as a major test.
