MINNEAPOLIS (AP) — With the NFC North title in hand, the Minnesota Vikings have guaranteed themselves a home game to start the playoffs.
Now it’s time to schedule it for the second weekend in January, rather than the first.
“We’re still playing for seeding. We would like to play, if possible, every game at U.S. Bank Stadium,” head coach Mike Zimmer said. “I know we’re going to get one, but we’re kind of greedy.”
After beating the Cincinnati Bengals 34-7 on Sunday , the Vikings (11-3) shifted their attention toward Green Bay for a game this Saturday night against the rival Packers (7-7).
