SOMETHING TO THINK ABOUT
Pretty much everything that could go wrong for the Vikings over the past five weeks did go wrong. They lost Peterson, their top two quarterbacks, their starting tight end, their best deep threat, their right guard (and perhaps their best lineman), and their leading tackler from the past six seasons. But they navigated a tough start with a 2-3 record and are just a game back in the NFC North. They don't have the look of a playoff team, but things could be worse, believe it or not.
