Vikings, Byron Murphy Jr. are locked in for Week 5 vs. Chiefs

The Vikings are ready for the media circus on Sunday and they plan on using it to their advantage

The Minnesota Vikings host the Kansas City Chiefs in week five at U.S. Bank Stadium and that will bring a lot of fanfare.

Not only are three of the best players in the NFL in Patrick Mahomes, Travis Kelce and Chris Jones coming to town, but the fanfare of Taylor Swift could be as well.

The Vikings are well aware of that and cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. said he was going to say something to Kelce to “get him going.”

“Oh man, the social media is going crazy,” Murphy said when asked about the Swift-Kelce storyline. “And I’m not hating against it. That’s the world we’re living in. Is she going to come to this game? We’re locked in, but that would be something. I’ve been watching her since I was a kid. That would be cool for sure.

“Not for him, because we’re going to try to get our hands on him in front of her (Swift).”

This is right on the border of making a bulletin board statement. Heck, it could be bulletin board material for the Chiefs. Gutsy to say aloud, but it’s not a secret. Sunday’s game should be an interesting one
