The Vikings beating the Packers last week was perhaps bittersweet.
Yes, Minnesota fans probably wanted the team to beat a division rival. But with how the season had been going, it seemed like the unlikely victory hurt the team’s draft stock more than it helped its playoff hopes.
Don’t look now, but the Vikings’ win in Lambeau might have been just what the team needed to recover from its horrendous start. It certainly looks that way after the Lions game.
Minnesota made it two consecutive wins when the team defeated Detroit at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. Minnesota has not fully recovered from the poor start, but now, the team is within striking distance.
