The Minnesota Vikings are poised to play against the Arizona Cardinals today. Ahead of the matchup, and this is true across a lot of games today, players have dressed up for Halloween. The official holiday is on Monday, but this is the closest gameday to that for many of them.
Minnesota wide receiver Adam Thielen decided to wear a Pennywise the Clown costume for the occasion. He entered the stadium with a Pennywise mask and the attire to match.

NFL fans did not miss the opportunity to roast him and his teammate Kirk Cousins, who they referred to as a clown. Cousins has infamously struggled in prime-time games, and he and Thielen have attracted the ire of NFL fans as a result.

How will the Minnesota Vikings fare today against the Cardinals?
Adam Thielen and his teammates head into their matchup with the Cardinals at 5-1, two and a half games ahead of the Green Bay Packers. They have gotten off to an incredible start this season and would like to continue stacking up wins while their rivals struggle.
A win here would put them at 6-1, a record that would make it very hard to miss the playoffs this year. Will they get that win? According to Vegas, the Vikings will win a rather close one against Arizona, who are in need of a win themselves.
Minnesota have surprised the football world by dominating to this point. However, it is expected that the Packers will go on a run at some point. The bigger the cushion the Vikings have at that point, the safer they will be.
Minnesota matches up well against the Cardinals. Their defense has played fairly well this year, but their offense has been the story. Despite Cousins' struggles in prime time, he's been good this year.
The combo of Thielen and Justin Jefferson is about as good a wide receiver duo as any team has. Dalvin Cook has been excellent as usual and will be a key feature in this matchup. With the Cardinals' weaker defense, Minnesota's offense might carry them to another big win.
