The Vikings moved to 8-3 on the season with their comeback 27-23 win over the Broncos on Sunday.
While Minnesota has won five of its last six games, the fact that the Vikings have their bye in Week 12 comes at a pretty good time.
The Vikings were missing Adam Thielen (hamstring), Linval Joseph (knee), Anthony Harris (knee) and Josh Kline (concussion) against the Broncos and All-Pro safety Harrison Smith (hamstring) left the game and did not return.
Those player now have two weeks to prepare for the Seahawks in Seattle on Dec. 2.
The Vikings, who are currently the second wild card team in the NFC standings, have quite the schedule ahead of them to close the season:
Week 13: @ Seattle
Week 14: vs. Detroit
Week 15: @ Los Angeles Chargers
Week 16: vs. Green Bay
Week 17: vs. Chicago
The win over Denver was huge for Minnesota’s playoff chances. Per FiveThirtyEight, the Vikings have a 91 percent chance to make the playoffs.
