The Vikings are on a six-game winning streak after defeating the Atlanta Falcons 42-21.
The victory further validated their decision to let Kirk Cousins leave in free agency for a cheaper replacement. Sam Darnold has thrived in the offense under coach Kevin O’Connell with a deep group of receivers led by Justin Jefferson.
Factoring in a productive defense, the Vikings should be a tough team to outscore in the playoffs.
Darnold had five touchdown passes against the Falcons. Jefferson and Jordan Addison combined for 15 catches, 265 yards and five scores to help the Vikings improve to 11-2.
