Just two weeks ago, it looked like the Minnesota Vikings were on the verge of collapsing. After losing to the Chicago Bears, the Vikings were just 2-2 and were 0-2 in the division. Their wide receiver was making vague threats about demanding a trade, their highly-paid quarterback was being labeled as a horrible financial decision, and they were firmly in last place in the NFC North.
Flash forward two weeks and the Vikings are a game out of first place in the division. Their offense looks as potent as ever. Their “struggling” quarterback is in the top 10 of every major quarterback statistic.
