<p>The Minnesota Vikings <a aria-label=)
defeated the Atlanta Falcons last weekend, thanks to an utterly dominant 4th Quarter that sent Kirk Cousins and his team home disappointed.
The 4 Most Probable Playoff Opponents for the Vikings
Kevin O’Connell’s team has an 11-2 record and needs one more win or a Los Angeles Rams loss to reach the playoffs.

<p>For Minnesota to miss the postseason, it would have to finish the season 0-4 and have the Rams win out, which just doesn’t seem too likely. So, these are the Vikings’ likeliest playoff opponents in the Wildcard Round (if one assumes they don’t pass the Detroit Lions and win the NFC North), ranked in ascending order (No. 1 = most likely Round 1 playoff opponent).</p>
