5. LONDON CALLING: The Vikings gave up a home date to play the NFL's annual showcase in London, so their overseas flight on Monday night might feel a little longer after this ominous loss. The good news is they play Pittsburgh, one of the other five winless teams left in the league..The 1970s Steelers won four titles in six years, and might have had the best defense in league history in 1976, a year in which they did NOTw in it all. That team gave up 28 points (TOTAL) in its last 9 games, with 5 shutouts. They allowed 2 TDs (TOTAL) in the last nine weeks of the season..

Wilson started all 16 games last season, going 80 at home, and passed for 3,118 yards with 26 touchdown passes, tying Peyton Manning's rookie record.Wilson, who had a 100plus passer rating in nine games in 2012 and exceeded all expectations, will try not to struggle through the socalled sophomore slump now that opposing defenses will be keying in on last April's thirdround draft choice.
