Can the Vikings make the playoffs?

The Minnesota Vikings go into the final week of the regular season with an outside chance of still reaching the playoffs - though they need a lot to go their way.

The Vikings are currently outside the top seven seeds in the NFC, and require four games to end in their favour if they are to sneak into a wildcard spot.

First and foremost, Minnesota must beat the Detroit Lions, which is a difficult task as it is.

If they do win at Ford Field, then they also need the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, Seattle Seahawks and Green Bay Packers all to lose in Week 18.

It is a longshot at best, but the Vikings are used to producing miracles at this time in the season.

Who do the Vikings still have to play?

  • Week 18 at Detroit Lions
