Members of the Pioneer Press sports staff forecast the Vikings’ game against the Bengals on Saturday in Cincinnati:

Vikings 24, Bengals 21

Nick Mullens has experience in the offense, so the Vikings should be able to move the ball. On the flip side, defensive coordinator Brian Flores is going to make Jake Browning’s life a living hell, like he’s done for everybody else the Vikings have played the past couple of months.

Wait, the Vikings just shut out a team that, on Thursday night, scored 63 points? It makes one pause for thought. Still, Bengals.

Vikings backup QB Nick Mullins is game, but Bengals backup QB Jake Browning, the former Vikings reserve, is playing well. Plus, the game’s in Cincinnati.
