Colts vs Vikings injury report and team news

Minnesota is 5-0 and has conceded six touchdowns, the fewest in the NFL.

Indianapolis rates 71.1 through the air, the third-lowest team passer rating in the league.

Minnesota has thrown for 835 yards, the second-lowest total in the NFL — it wins differently.

Six touchdowns in five games

Minnesota’s defence has conceded six touchdowns, allows a 62.9 opponent rating, and lets opponents finish a quarter of their red-zone trips. Every one of those is the best mark in the league.

Indianapolis is the wrong visitor for it. Daniel Jones has thrown six interceptions to four touchdowns and the Colts rate 71.1, third-lowest in football.

The counterweight is that Minnesota barely throws it. Eight hundred and thirty-five passing yards is second-lowest in the NFL, so a shootout is not how it would win.

Players to watch

• Jonathan Taylor (IND, RB): Fronts a ground game at 4.01 a carry.
• Tyler Warren (IND, TE): A central target in an attack rating 71.1 passing.
• Kyler Murray (MIN, QB): An 84.7 rating from four starts for an unbeaten team.
• Justin Jefferson (MIN, WR): First read in a passing game that throws sparingly.
