The Minnesota Vikings take on the Indianapolis Colts at noon at U.S. Bank Stadium.
The Vikings are 7-6 this season. The Colts are 6-7.

Number Three: Gopher Boycott
The University of Minnesota football team has called off its boycott of all activities, including the Holiday Bowl.
On Saturday morning, the players announced they will participate in the Dec. 27 bowl game in San Diego.
This comes after a dramatic week involving 10 player suspensions and a team revolt.
It all stems from a sexual assault allegation earlier this fall involving several teammates.
