ESPN comments:
The Vikings are 4-0 for the first time since 2009, and they are doing it behind a combo of solid offense and defense. The Vikings have committed one turnover with 11 takeaways, good for an NFL-best plus-10 turnover differential.

The biggest risers of the week are the Atlanta Falcons, jumping ten spots from #18 to #8. The biggest fall of the week belongs to the Arizona Cardinals, plunging twelve notches from #5 to #17. 

The Vikes host the Houston Texans Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis.
