After their 23-10 loss to the Packers on Monday Night Football, the Vikings fell to 10-5 on the season.
And with that, they fell from No. 7 to No. 10 in USA TODAY’s weekly power rankings.
Here’s what Nate Davis had to say about the Vikings:
Less-than-inspiring Monday night performance (without Dalvin Cook) locked them into sixth seed and strongly suggested this will be one-and-done playoff outfit.
The Vikings are now locked in as the sixth seed in the NFC. They’ll play the Chicago Bears in somewhat of a meaningless Week 17 game. However, the Vikings probably want to see their offense click a bit after seeing how miserable it was in Week 16.
Cook likely won’t play in Week 17 so he can rest up for the wild card round of the playoffs.
