The Minnesota Vikings are not in a great place heading into Week 16. They have already been ruled out of making the playoffs and are likely to finish in last place in the highly competitive NFC North division this season.
However, that doesn't mean that Sunday's game against the New York Giants isn't important to get the Vikings on the same page. Although their opponents only have two wins this season, they are in a similar situation where they are hoping to see continued development from their young quarterback.
At this time of the season, injuries can significantly impact a team's success.
