After a short week to prepare, the Minnesota Vikings were scheduled to take on the Arizona Cardinals on Thursday Night Football. The team was humiliated on Sunday by a Seattle Seahawks team that had their way with Minnesota both offensively and defensively as Minnesota went on to play some of the least disciplined football of the year.
Now, Minnesota has dropped out of first place in the NFC North and has to win games in order to hope to stay alive in the tough NFC wild card race. Another loss tonight would make it much more difficult for the Vikings to finish out their schedule and show they can be a playoff team while Arizona can secure a playoff spot with a win tonight.
