The road-weary Vikings will be back at home to host the Dolphins and are looking forward to their first noon (CT) kickoff since Nov. 4.

Minnesota (6-6-1) has dropped two in a row, falling at New England and Seattle in the past two weeks, but would be the No. 6 seed in the NFC Playoffs if the postseason started today.

Miami (7-6) has won two in a row to remain in the hunt for a spot in the AFC Playoffs.

The stadium gates will open at 10 a.m.

The Delta Vikings Village and Medtronic Plaza will open at 9:30 a.m. and feature multiple activities. Tickets are not necessary for activities in the Delta Vikings Village but are required to access the Medtronic Plaza.
