If the Minnesota Vikings end up a playoff participant this season — Sunday’s win at the Las Vegas Raiders went a long way in making that happen — Week 14 can be remembered as the game slate that turned the tide.

Minnesota, entering Week 14, preferred a Chicago Bears win over the Detroit Lions, a Los Angeles Rams loss at the Baltimore Ravens, and a San Francisco 49ers triumph over the Seattle Seahawks.
