Vikings
Did the Minnesota Vikings clinch the playoffs?
The Vikings improved to 11-2 after their victory over the Falcons on Sunday, but haven’t quite got that playoff berth just yet.
The Minnesota Vikings notched another victory on Sunday with a 42-21 win over the Atlanta Falcons to improve to 11-2 on the season. They didn’t quite clinch the playoffs yet, but it’s only a matter of time before they do.
Vikings miss playoff berth thanks to Rams win
The NFC North remains the most dominant division this season. The Lions, at 12-1, clinched their playoff spot on Thursday with a win over the Packers. The Vikings are now 11-2 with their win this week, but they needed a little help from their friends before they could actually clinch their postseason spot, and they just missed it.
Here’s what the Vikings would have needed in order to clinch a playoff berth today:
- Seahawks-Cardinals tie
- Cardinals loss AND Rams loss or tie vs Bills
They got the Cardinals loss, but the Rams narrowly beat the Bills in a 44-42 victory that was close throughout the whole game. Unfortunately, they didn’t get the playoff berth today. But their 11-2 record means they’re likely to clinch it with a win over their NFC North rivals Chicago Bears next week.
