The Denver Broncos head into their Week 11 matchup with the Minnesota Vikings on an impressive three-game winning streak, while the Vikings are coming off a fantastic effort by newly-minted quarterback Joshua Dobbs against the New Orleans Saints.
At the beginning of 2023, these two teams had a similar trajectory. The Vikings and Broncos both started out 0-3, but Minnesota has won five in a row and they are sitting at 6-4. The Broncos went 0-3, before winning four of their next six games, where they sit at 4-5.
How have these two teams fared against one another in the past?
Minnesota has an all-time 8-7 advantage over Denver, where the Broncos have won three out of the past four meetings.
The last time these two teams matched up was in 2019, when these teams had two different quarterbacks, Brandon Allen for the Broncos and Kirk Cousins for the Vikings. This time around, Minnesota has Dobbs behind center, and Denver with Russell Wilson.
Turning back the clock, Allen completed 17-of-39 passes for 240 yards, one touchdown and one interception. Cousins went 29-of-35 for 319 yards and three touchdowns in a 27-23 Vikings win last time.
