What does another win mean for the Minnesota Vikings and their playoff hopes?
Six weeks ago when the Minnesota Vikings were 1-5, the playoffs seemed like a hilarious fantasy. But after Sunday’s win over the Jacksonville Jaguars, the Vikings are now 6-6 and sitting in possession of the seventh and final spot in the NFC playoff standings.
With the victory over the Jaguars, FiveThirtyEight now has Minnesota with a 39 percent chance to make the postseason, and Football Outsiders has the purple and gold’s playoff chances at 26.
