We are getting closer to kickoff in Kansas City, ladies and gentlemen, as our Week 9 contest between the Kansas City Chiefs and your Minnesota Vikings will take place tomorrow afternoon. As always, we want to make sure that as many people as possible know exactly how they can follow along with all of the action, whatever their preferred medium might be, and this is our way of making sure you have all that information at your fingertips.
Television Info
Coming off of the mini-bye, the Vikings are at the single greatest time for NFL action to kick off, that being noon Central on Sunday. (Remember, the clocks go back an hour tonight. . .then again, since pretty much every device does that on its own today, you should be good to go.) This game will be shown on the FOX family of networks, which is KSTP-9 in the Twin Cities. The play-by-play for this one will be handled by Kevin Burkhardt and Charles Davis.
If you are outside of the Twin Cities area, here is the coverage map from the folks at 506 Sports. The Vikings/Chiefs game is represented by the blue area.

Referee Info
According to Football Zebras, the officiating crew for this week’s contest will be led by Alex Kemp. Kemp is in his second season as a head referee, and has only worked one game with the Vikings thus far. . .not a particularly memorable one, as his crew called the Vikings’ 27-6 loss to the Buffalo Bills at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 3 of last season.
Weather Info
Hey, everybody, it’s an outdoor game for the Vikings! However, based on the forecast from our friends at WeatherNation, it should be an absolutely outstanding day for football. Temperatures at kickoff are forecast be right around 50 degrees with no chance of precipitation under partly cloudy skies and winds coming from the southwest at between 5 and 10 miles/hour.
