Get buckled up. Per NFL.com’s Gregg Rosenthal, the Minnesota Vikings could be among the NFL’s best in 2021 — or head coach Mike Zimmer’s bunch could end up with a Top 10 draft pick in 2022. If Rosenthal’s contradictory synopsis is close to the accuracy, the season could start wonderfully or miserably. That’s why seatbelt-fastening is in order.
In an analysis of the NFC North, Rosenthal said of the Vikings, “I see the Vikings as one of the highest variance teams in the NFL. Eleven wins wouldn’t be a shock; 11 losses wouldn’t either.”
Call it the Atlanta Falcons diagnosis.
