Vikings’ path to postseason is murky, but goal is still attainable

Article Summary:
MINNEAPOLIS – The Minnesota Vikings’ Week 12 loss at San Francisco carried the intensity of a postseason game between two wildcard hopefuls. The Vikings are underdogs in their two toughest games during that stretch, versus the Rams and at Green Bay in back-to-back weeks.
A win against the Lions would further the Vikings’ chances of making the postseason to 54%, a number that could be higher by Sunday depending on the result of Thursday’s Dallas-New Orleans game.
The Vikings should be getting several key pieces back ahead of the Detroit game.
