The Vikings finally earned their first win of the 2020 season on Sunday, beating the Texans 31-23.
The loss was so bad for the Texans that the next day, they fired their head coach.
The Vikings are now 1-3. Fans are hoping there’s a way this team can still make a run for the playoffs.
That’ll be tough, however, considering their Week 5 opponent is a 4-0 Seattle Seahawks, a team the Vikings haven’t beaten since 2009.
The Seahawks open the week as seven-point favorites. This game is also on Sunday night, so all eyes will be on Kirk Cousins. Cousins hasn’t done historically well in primetime games and has head an up-and-down 2020 season.
The good news is that the Seahawks rank dead last in passing yards allowed this season and it looks like Adam Thielen and rookie Justin Jefferson are finding their rhythm.
If there was a year the Vikings could come back from 1-3, this is probably it. There will be seven teams from each conference in the playoffs this season.
