The Minnesota Vikings are trying to salvage what they can from a season that will see them miss the playoffs after winning 14 games last year. The priority is seeing development from the team's young players, including quarterback J.J. McCarthy.
Three games remain on the Vikings' schedule this season. On Sunday, Minnesota will face the New York Giants in New Jersey. But the really interesting games will come on Christmas against the Detroit Lions and the following week vs the Green Bay Packers.
The Minnesota Vikings' defense has been lights out at times this year.
