(WCCO)- It wasn’t pretty, but the Vikings got the win they needed to get back to .500 on Sunday beating the Jacksonville Jaguars 27-24 in overtime. Thanks to the Arizona Cardinals loss to the Los Angeles Rams, the Vikings also took over the final playoff spot in the NFC with four games left to play. However, the projections systems remain low on the Vikings chances, giving them between a 31 and 39 percent chance of making the postseason.
As we covered last week, that was largely to be expected. Mike Zimmer’s group still has matchups against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and New Orleans Saints left while the Cardinals, their main competition, face the New York Giants and Philadelphia Eagles the next two weeks.
