After Monday night’s 37-30 loss to the Seahawks, the Vikings dropped to 8-4 on the 2019 season.
And with that, Minnesota also fell from No. 8 to No. 9 in USA TODAY’s Week 14 Power Rankings.
Here’s what was written about the Vikings:
Gave a solid account of themselves in a brutal venue even without a big chunk of their offensive firepower. Still, margin for error over closing Rams is dwindling dangerously.
The Vikings hold just a one-game lead over the Rams for the final wild card spot in the NFC. However, the Vikings host the Lions in Week 14 in a game that should be a win.
The Lions rank 28th in the power rankings. To round out the NFC North, the Packers rank seventh and the Bears rank 16th.
