The Vikings got what turned into an easy win over the hapless Lions after getting off to an incredibly slow start offensively. And for all practical purposes, with the Eagles beating the Texans shortly after the Vikings win, the Vikings regular season has ended.
It’s now pretty much do or die for the Vikings. The Vikings could still back into the playoffs with a loss to the Bears next weekend, but they would need the Eagles to lose too at Washington - which has been eliminated from playoff contention and may not have much to play for.
