A win on Sunday night over the Chicago Bears would have made the path to the postseason much easier for the Minnesota Vikings this year. But unfortunately for the Vikings, they now face a tough road to the playoffs after losing to the Bears.
With the loss, Minnesota is now sitting with a 5-4-1 record. As of Monday, the Vikings would be the No. 6 seed in the NFC if the playoffs started next week.
Right behind Minnesota in the NFC playoff picture are the Dallas Cowboys and Seattle Seahawks, who both currently have 5-5 records.
