The VikingsTerritory collective staff prediction for the 2021 team is in as the Minnesota Vikings travel to Cincinnati for a showdown with the Bengals in a few days.
Minnesota seeks to avenge a sorrowful 2020 season which ended in 7-9 mediocrity after a flurry of injuries to key defensive personnel. Because of the disappointment and head coach Mike Zimmer’s seven-year tenure in Minnesota, the 2021 season is now a telling one. The Vikings probably have to win a playoff game or two for Zimmer and his quarterback Kirk Cousins to get a greenlight for 2022.
And for the most part, writers at VikingsTerritory believe the Vikings will get pretty close to the postseason, if not outright reach the event.
