Thursday night’s loss to the Cardinals was disappointing to be sure, but overall the week turned out pretty good for the Vikings.
Yes Minnesota dropped a little further behind Green Bay in the race for the division but, after Sunday’s early game results, they have gotten a big leg up in the Wild Card race.
In fact, the Vikings right now are looking like near-locks to earn a playoff spot.
The Vikings are 8-5 after their loss to the Cardinals but the two teams allegedly chasing them for the Wild Card are now both 6-7 after dropping their games this weekend.
