The Minnesota Vikings enter Week 16 at 12-2 and sit outside the division lead in the league’s top-heavy division. They will finish the season at the Detroit Lions, so there is still a lot to sort out in the NFC North. But with the Vikings already clinching a playoff spot, they can think about how they compare to other playoff-caliber teams.
There’s the Seattle Seahawks, fresh off a Sunday Night Football loss to the Packers. They could have lost more than the game since Geno Smith suffered a knee injury, but he is on track to play this Sunday and Seattle will need him. The Seahawks are tied for the top spot in the NFC West with the Rams and lost to Los Angeles earlier this season. Their second matchup closes out the regular season and could end up being for the division title, so Seattle needs a win against a tough opponent in town this week.
Additionally, the 49ers visit the Dolphins and the Bills host the Patriots in the later window.
