EAGAN, Minn. — The Vikings are back at U.S. Bank Stadium this week for the first visit to the venue by the Raiders.

And they're bringing friends in the form of more than 100 Vikings Legends who are planning to attend Sunday's noon (CT) kickoff.

The 1969 Vikings team that went 12-2 in the regular-season and recorded the first two postseason victories in franchise history will be honored in a ceremony at halftime. Members of that team are scheduled to participate in events beginning Friday in conjunction with Fantennial Weekend, a celebration of the NFL's 100th season.

Minnesota and Oakland prevailed at home in Week 1 against the Falcons and Broncos, respectively, and both fell in Week 2. The Vikings lost 21-16 to the Packers in Green Bay. The Raiders dropped a 28-10 decision at home against the Chiefs.

This will be Oakland's first road trip of 2019, first visit to Minnesota for a regular-season game since 2011 and final time of departing the Bay Area for the Land of 10,000 Lakes because the Raiders are scheduled to relocate to Las Vegas in 2020.

In addition to leading the NFL with 265 rushing yards and three scores on the ground, Dalvin Cook also has the longest rush in the NFL in 2019 after zipping for a 75-yard score at Green Bay.

The Vikings are tied with the Raiders for the most tackles for loss in the NFL this season with 14 apiece.
