In the span of about a month, the outlook for the Minnesota Vikings in 2018 has gone from the sky is falling to the team now being in first place in the NFC North.
After an embarrassing loss to the Buffalo Bills in Week 3 and then a defensive dismantling at the hands of the Los Angeles Rams in Week 4, the Vikings’ 2018 season was quickly packed full of questions. But since that tough loss to the Rams, Minnesota has won three straight games, including two on the road.
Through seven weeks, the Vikings have a 4-2-1 record and are atop the NFC North for the first time since Week 2.
