Who is undefeated in the NFL entering Week 7 of the 2026 NFL regular season? At that point, only three teams were still perfect: the Vikings, 49ers and Chiefs. That made the conversation on Good Morning Football especially interesting, because the league had reached a rare moment where just a handful of teams were still unbeaten after six weeks.
The Vikings were the most relevant part of that discussion from a Minnesota perspective. Adam Thielen joined Good Morning Football to talk about the team as it entered Week 7 with a 5-0 record and a matchup against the Colts at U.S. Bank Stadium. In a season where so few teams were still undefeated, every remaining unbeaten start carried extra weight.
Why the Vikings stood out
The Vikings had already become one of the league's most compelling early stories. Entering Week 7, they were preparing to host the Colts while sitting at 5-0, which kept them in the center of the national conversation about the NFL's last undefeated teams.
That discussion had been building for weeks. In Week 3, Gregg Rosenthal, Jourdan Rodrigue and Patrick Claybon previewed the Vikings-Buccaneers matchup, then Rosenthal, Rodrigue and Nick Shook recapped it. In Week 4, Rosenthal and Rodrigue previewed the Vikings-Dolphins game before Rosenthal, Rodrigue and Nick Shook broke it down after the fact. In Week 5, Rosenthal and Trevor Sikkema previewed Vikings-Saints, and Rosenthal, Rodrigue, Nick Shook and Keegan Abdoo recapped that game as well.
By the time Thielen appeared on Good Morning Football entering Week 7, the Vikings were no longer just another unbeaten team. They were part of a very small group, and that made the question of which undefeated club was the most intriguing a legitimate debate.
What it means going forward
The answer to who is undefeated in the NFL can change quickly, especially in a season where only three teams reached the first six weeks without a loss. But for that moment, the Vikings were right in the middle of it, and their 5-0 start had them positioned as one of the league's most watched teams heading into Week 7.
