The Vikings lost on Sunday to move to 7-8 overall.
Minnesota is no longer looking like it’s on track to make the postseason. Touchdown Wire has taken notice.
The outlet moved the Vikings down to No. 21 in its power rankings after Minnesota came in at No. 19 a week ago. Nick Wojton, of Touchdown Wire and Bills Wire, wrote:
“Another display where the Vikings fell short in a close one and did not take advantage of their opponent’s woes. The Rams did not have their best day as Minnesota had three interceptions, and yet the Vikings still lost 30-23. Gaffs like a punt return touchdown can quickly become costly.”
Minnesota has a not-very-winnable game against Green Bay this week, though the Vikings did beat the Packers earlier this year. Then, the team plays the Bears for the final game of the season.
The Vikings need to win both of those games if they want to make the playoffs this year. Even with those victories, the team doesn’t have a guaranteed postseason berth.
