FOXBOROUGH, Mass. – The Minnesota Vikings (6-5-1) are still alive in the NFC playoff picture after a 24-10 loss over the New England Patriots, but there’s one thing that continues to allude this team: It hasn't beaten an opponent with a winning record this season.
Losses by the Chicago Bears, Green Bay Packers and Carolina Panthers before kickoff at Gillette Stadium presented the Vikings with an opportunity to gain important ground in the NFC North and wild-care playoff race. Instead, Minnesota added to a day of defeat for each team in the division.
