The Minnesota Vikings are desperate for wins. They likely need to win each of their final four games in order to make the playoffs – even then it may not be enough.
The Vikings have lost six of their last seven games, including a 17-15 loss to the Dallas Cowboys Thursday at US Bank Stadium, and are two games back in the division (plus, they lose the head-to-head tiebreaker with the Detroit Lions) and one game out of the second wild card spot.
Their Week 14 opponent is on a similar downward spiral. The Jacksonville Jaguars have lost seven straight, including a 20-10 loss to the Denver Broncos Sunday at home.
