Vikings Clinch 2024 Playoff Spot

It is the second time in three seasons under head coach Kevin O’Connell that Minnesota has made the playoffs. In 2022, the Vikings won the NFC North with a 13-4 record, but were the No. 3 seed after losing a tiebreaker to the Niners (13-4). The Eagles clinched the NFC’s top seed with a 14-3 mark and advanced to Super Bowl LVII, and the Vikings were upset by the Giants in the Super Wild Card round.

There is quite a bit of competition for seed no. 1 this season, with the Lions (12-2) and Eagles (12-2) clinching playoff berths in Week 14.
