Vikings Season Outlook After Going 0-2

Related Topics: Minnesota Vikings

The Vikings started the season 0-2, largely if not entirely due to having a 7-1 turnover deficit over those two games. That puts them in a significant hole they need to climb out of if they’re to make the postseason.

NFL Football Operations has produced an updated postseason probability chart updated for the 17-game season- and 7 playoff teams- that looks like this:

As a 0-2 team, the Vikings have just a 22% chance to make the postseason according to this updated chart. That’s basically the same probability as the Vikings winning a game with a zero-point spread after going down 10-0 mid-way through the first quarter, starting 1st and 10 from their own 25-yard line.
