Justin Jefferson & Vikings Are On Their Way Back To The Postseason
There’s still half a season to play, but the Vikings are essentially on their way to another postseason appearance. At 6-2, it will take a miserable collapse of epic proportions for Kevin O’Connell’s group to miss out.
The Vikings are two games clear of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Los Angeles Rams, Chicago Bears and San Francisco 49ers, who are on the outside looking in. Injuries have ravaged the Bucs and 49ers, and Chicago still has six division games on the slate.
Not only are the Vikings a safe bet to make the postseason, but they’ll pose a dangerous threat to whomever they face. This is a well-balanced group on both sides of the ball.
