The Vikings are the only team in the NFL that doesn't have a victory against a team that currently has a .500 record or better.
Really.
Yes, even the one-win Raiders have done it. Ditto for the two-win Titans, Jets, Jaguars and Buccaneers.
Yep. Same goes for the three-win Redskins, Panthers and Giants.
The Bucs and Jets both beat the Steelers, while the Titans and Raiders both beat the Chiefs. The Panthers beat the Lions, the Redskins beat the Cowboys, the Jaguars beat the Browns and the Giants beat the Texans.
The Vikings, meanwhile, are 0-5 against the Packers, Patriots, Lions and Bills. But at least they are 5-2 against teams with a losing record.
Next up is Sunday's home game against a 2-10 Jets team whose road résumé includes an 0-5 record and a league-worst minus-89-point differential. The only other teams that haven't won on the road are Oakland and Jacksonville.
It's hard to get a feel for which Jets team the Vikings will face. Will it be the blasé squad that lost to the Bills by 35 points in Detroit two weeks ago? Or will it be the determined group that beat the Steelers three weeks ago and pounded out 277 yards in a three-point loss to the Dolphins on Monday?
