NFL Power Rankings week 9: Vikings snap back to reality

The Vikings season has hit a drastic bump after losing to a 2-6 Bears team. Norv Turner resigned out of nowhere earlier this week just to make things even crazier. Already dealing with injuries and offensive struggles the week 8 loss to Chicago loosened Minnesota’s grip on the NFC North and made them slide down the NFL power rankings.

However, NFL Week 9 has arrived! The Vikings play the Lions this week in a game that really feels like it will make or break their season. Starting guard Alex Boone and linebacker Eric Kendricks will be out of the game with concussions.
