If someone were to say before the season that the Minnesota Vikings would have 10 wins by Week 16, most would assume the team would be on its way to winning the NFC North and contending for one of the top two playoff spots in the NFC.
While they did earn their 10th victory of the season on Sunday against the Los Angeles Chargers, the Vikings are still trailing the Green Bay Packers by one game for the lead in their division. Minnesota is also only the sixth seed in the current NFC playoff picture despite their 10-4 record after 15 weeks.
