The Nano Column: You can read it while at a stoplight, during a commercial break or when dropping a deuce. The Jacksonville Jaguars got a whiff of that elixir and nearly ended their extremely long losing streak Sunday, but the Vikings came up with just enough plays to win 27-24 in overtime and extend the Jags’ misery to 11 fails in a row. The Vikings were favored by 10, and that’s never a good thing for this franchise.
If you’re a winless NFL team or one with a substantial losing streak, the Vikings often have been the elixir for what ails you.
