Don’t look now, but the odds of the road to the Super Bowl in the NFC running directly through U.S. Bank Stadium just increased significantly.
Thanks to the Washington Commanders taking down the Philadelphia Eagles on Monday Night Football just a short time ago, the Minnesota Vikings are right back into the race for the NFC’s top seed.
Both the Eagles and the Vikings now stand with 8-1 records, though Philadelphia is still the #1 seed in the NFC as things stand right now because of the head-to-head tiebreaker. That means that, if they want the top spot, the Vikings are going to have to finish a full game ahead of Philadelphia.
