If there’s one thing that overall statistics and team records can’t account for, it’s a team’s momentum. Right now, the Minnesota Vikings have some good momentum headed into the final week of the 2015 season and the NFL playoffs.
As we’ve seen in the past, getting hot at the end of the season can be a great thing. The best example of this are the 2007 New York Giants, who barely got into the NFL playoffs and won their way all way to a Super Bowl Championship. Now, I’m not saying that this team is likely to accomplish a feat like that, but it’s definitely a good thing to be playing your best football at the end of the season.
