Your Sunday NFL Open Thread

Well, ladies and gentlemen, for the third time in four weeks, the Vikings will not be a part of the regular slate of Sunday afternoon football action. So, that means that you get to watch a different game, put your television on the Red Zone Channel if you have it (which is my plan), or maybe even. . .I don't know. . .get out of the house and do something with the family or something.

If you do choose to hang out and watch football this afternoon, here's your Open Thread to do so with your fellow Minnesota Vikings fans, as well as the schedule for this afternoon's action. If you want to see which games are on in your area, the map from the folks at The 506 can help you out with that.
