If the Minnesota Vikings want to remain in the playoff picture this season, they will need to finish strong during their final five weeks of the season. That includes their big Week 13 showdown against the New England Patriots.
Of course, Tom Brady and Rob Gronkowski own the headlines in Boston spots and the Patriots have a legacy of greatness, including amazing press conferences from their head coach Bill Belichick, but that doesn’t mean they’re invincible.
The task looks even tougher when factoring in that the game will be held at Gillette Stadium in Foxborough, Massachusetts and New England currently has a pretty firm grip on the AFC East thanks to an 8-3 record and the rest of their division having 12 total wins.
