While a win guarantees the Vikings that playoff berth, they could still qualify if they lose to the Bears and the Philadelphia Eagles also lose their late afternoon game against the Washington Redskins, according to CBS Sports.
“We understand what’s at stake. There’s no magic formula. There’s no button you can push or hours you can put in to suddenly snap your fingers and guarantee a win,” said Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins, as quoted by Fox. “You do all you can, give everything you have.”
For the Bears, a win gives them the second seed and a first-round bye. With a loss the Bears would likely have to play a Wild Card game — against the Vikings.
