The Minnesota Vikings have been notorious for landing very ‘middle of the pack’ positions in power rankings from some of the more notable NFL media members over the past few years. Even now, coming off a 13-4 record, they can’t dodge the doubt as they lost at home in the Wild Card round to the New York Giants.
In Peter King’s post-draft power rankings, the NBC Sports analyst is the latest to name the Vikings as a borderline playoff squad by placing them 14th in Monday’s rankings and 7th among the NFC teams, meaning they’d hold the final Wild Card spot if the standings broke that way.
