Vikings take another fall in USA TODAY power rankings

Momentum isn’t going in the right direction for the Minnesota Vikings after their 16-6 loss to the Bears in Week 4.

The loss dropped the Vikings to 2-2 on the season and from No. 7 to No. 12 in USA TODAY’s power rankings.

Here’s what our friend Nate Davis wrote about the Vikings:

They’ve beaten non-division foes by 62-26 aggregate score but are winless against NFC North. Good news — only one of next eight against NFCN.

The Vikings travel to play the 2-2 New York Giants in Week 5. After starting off 0-2, the Giants are 2-0 in their last two games behind the arm of rookie quarterback Daniel Jones.

The Giants rank 25th on the list.

To round out the NFC North, the Lions rank fourth, the Packers rank fifth and the Bears rank seventh.
