The Minnesota Vikings are looking for their sixth straight win after defeating the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13. With a win, the Vikings can earn a playoff spot in Week 14 while also getting revenge on their former quarterback, Kirk Cousins.
Despite all those positive points, ESPN has them dropping in their latest power rankings heading into Week 14.
The rankings have them dropping one spot from fifth to sixth after their comeback win against the Cardinals. In the piece, they rank the Lions in the top spot while the Packers and Bears are ranked 7th and 22nd, respectively.
The win was a major moment in the season for the Vikings as it showed they can have those trying times and overcome them to secure a win. Those are the moments that a team can look back on after a successful season as a reason they achieved what they did.
Perhaps a win over the Falcons can see the Vikings crack back into the top five.
