It’s number-crunching time in the NFL. With four weeks remaining in the regular season, playoff scenarios abound across the league.
The Cardinals are lucky, though. While some teams need a TI-89 calculator to unfurl all their possibilities – looking at you, NFC East – the Cards can count their to-do list on one hand.
The Vikings come to town for “Thursday Night Football” and are one of two teams with a realistic shot at catching the Cardinals for the No. 2 seed in the NFC. The Packers are the other, and with a two-game lead and head-to-head matchups looming against both, the Cardinals know continuing to win will make for a cheerful holiday season.
