For the second time in three seasons, Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell and his team are headed to the playoffs. Minnesota is tied for the best record in the NFC at 12-2. The Lions and Eagles have the same record with three weeks left in the regular season. 

On Monday night, the Vikings were at home for a divisional matchup vs. the Bears. Earlier this season, the Vikings beat Chicago 30-27 in OT. However, the Bears were not able to keep it as close in Week 15. Minnesota won 30-12 and they’ve won seven games in a row. With that MNF victory, the Vikings have clinched a postseason berth in 2024. The Vikings have a tough three-game stretch ahead vs. three teams that will all be in the NFC playoffs.
