VIKINGS DOWN THE STRETCH
If they go 3-0: At 10-6, they could win the NFC North — if the Lions (9-4) lose their final three games (at Giants, at Cowboys, home vs. Packers) — or they could get a wild card, or they could stay home.
If they go 2-1: At 9-7, a division title would be out of the question and they would need considerable help to get a wild card. Right now the Giants (9-4) and Buccaneers (8-5) hold the two NFC wild-card spots.
If they go 1-2: At 8-8, their playoff chances would be virtually nil.
If they go 0-3: At 7-9, their season would be over.
