After defeating the Cincinnati Bengals in a Week 14 matchup last season, the Minnesota Vikings captured their second NFC North title since Mike Zimmer became the team’s head coach in 2014.
This year, the Vikings were picked by many to finish atop their division once again. But after 11 games, Minnesota is currently sitting a game and half behind the Chicago Bears for first place in the NFC North.
Now is not the time for the Vikings to panic though. They still have five matchups left on their schedule this year, including a showdown against the Bears in Week 17 that could decide who ends up winning the division.
