Vikings Officially Eliminated from Playoff Contention

The Minnesota Vikings have officially been eliminated from playoff contention following their recent performances. According to Daily Norseman, the Vikings' hopes for postseason play vanished after the Chicago Bears' decisive 31-3 victory over the Cleveland Browns.

This outcome sealed the Vikings' fate, which already appeared bleak, as they faced a narrow path to the playoffs requiring multiple favorable results and a perfect finish to their season. Furthermore, the Vikings are likely to finish in last place in the NFC North for the first time since 2013, marking a significant downturn for the franchise.

The team now shifts its focus to either playing for pride or improving draft position as they look ahead to next season.
