If the Vikings were to play a 17th regular-season game, based on multiple reports, the team will be playing the Chargers.
Pro Football Talk’s Peter King has added some insight into whether that game could be at home or away for the Vikings. Per King, Minnesota will most likely be heading to LA to face the Chargers if game No. 17 goes into effect (H/T Chris Tomasson of the Pioneer Press).
As reported by NFL Network’s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport, the league is planning on expanding to a 17-game regular season in 2021.
First, the NFL has to negotiate at least one new media contract in order to make the move to 17 games next season, according to the collective bargaining agreement (H/T Pelissero and Rapoport).
As of now, here are Minnesota’s 16 regular-season opponents for 2021.
