If the season ended today, the Vikings would be in the playoffs. Hey, great idea. Let’s just end it now! Ah, it doesn’t work that way. The Vikings, at 6-6-1, have a narrow half-game lead over three slumping 6-7 teams for the final wild card spot. The Vikings’ Week 2 tie at Green Bay remains a source of frustration for plenty of fans, but it might be enough to make a difference in getting in or staying home.
