During Week 7 of the 2018 NFL season, the Minnesota Vikings were able to defeat the New York Jets and extend their winning streak to three games and move to the top of the NFC North for the time being with a 4-2-1 record.
The 31-17 win put the Vikings in the driver’s seat, getting four takeaways from the Jets and diving up the team’s four touchdowns evenly: two through the air and two on the ground. With a convincing win heading into Week 8, the question of whether or not Minnesota should be contenders again is brought to light.
