Next to Washington, they by far have the most feasible path to a wild card spot, purely in terms of schedule. Vikings
Remaining schedule: vs. Steelers, at Bears, vs. Rams, at Packers, vs. Bears
Heartbreak and humiliation hasn’t been hard to come by for these Vikings, whose defense has been an occasional sieve and who now have a short-week game against the tough Steelers after falling to Detroit. Seahawks
Remaining schedule: at Texans, at Rams, vs. Bears, vs. Lions, at Cardinals
It all comes down to this: is Russell Wilson comfortable? He looked much more at ease in Seattle’s do-or-die win against the 49ers in Week 13.
8. Falcons
Remaining schedule: at Panthers, at 49ers, vs. Lions, at Bills, vs. Saints
