The Carolina Panthers (8-4) return to Charlotte on Sunday to face the Minnesota Vikings (10-2) for the first of three consecutive home games following a tough 31-21 road loss to the Saints last week.

By John Gworek, 9 months 13 hours ago
So much has changed since the Vikings and Lions met on Oct. 1 in Minnesota.

It’s way too early to call Sunday’s Minnesota-Pittsburgh matchup a possible Super Bowl preview, but the Vikings and Steelers certainly both have playoff expectations. And both showed why in Week 1.
Pittsburgh went to Cleveland and came away with a 21-18 win that never felt as close as the score. The Steelers never trailed, led 21-10 for most of the second half and ran out...
