Last season, the Minnesota Vikings impressed nearly everyone by having the number one defense in the NFL and making a deep playoff run that ended in Philadelphia at the hands of the Eagles in the Conference Championship game.
There is no reason to think that this year’s team has any less potential. After retaining their key free agents and bringing in Sheldon Richardson, Kirk Cousins, and Kendall Wright, expectations should be as high as ever.
It is great to see Minnesota among the favorites to reach the Super Bowl in 2018, but that also means that the Vikings will not be surprising any teams who now understand just how talented the franchise is.
