Every weekday, we walk you through what's going on with the Vikings.

WHAT YOU MIGHT HAVE MISSED

— It took a lucky break and a late stand from their defense for the Vikings to survive with a 16-10 win in a game that shouldn't have been close.

— Coach Mike Zimmer was mostly positive after winning "a nail-biter."

— Big stops in short-yardage situations helped the Vikings preserve a win.

— With quarterback Teddy Bridgewater and running back Adrian Peterson not having their best days, the offense did just enough to get by.

— Rookie wide receiver Stefon Diggs had another big game yesterday.

— With defensive end Everson Griffen taking a sick day, rookie Danielle Hunter started in his place and got in on his first career sack.

BEHIND ENEMY LINES

— After five straight losses, linebacker Derrick Johnson and the Chiefs are frustrated and insist they are better than their 1-5 record indicates.

— Chiefs wide receiver Jeremy Maclin and defensive end Mike DeVito both got knocked out of the game with concussions in the loss to the Vikings.

— Should the stumbling Chiefs start looking ahead to next season?

TODAY'S VIKINGS SCHEDULE

Players report for morning meetings and have to talk to us reporters at 12:30 p.m. Zimmer does his weekly Monday press conference at 2 p.m.

SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT

Diggs has been active for two of the team's five games. But with 13 catches for 216 yards, he is already second on the Vikings in receiving yards and not far behind the leader, Mike Wallace, who has 256. So the Vikings have to keep him heavily involved, right? Well, Charles Johnson could be back from an injury soon, and coaches try not to give away the jobs of injured players. But Johnson had just six catches for 46 yards in two and a half games before suffering his rib injury, so it's not like he was setting the league on fire. There are ways to keep both players in the mix, but with the passing offense still looking to get going, the Vikings should keep Diggs busy.
