This was the most important win for the Vikings. If we lose next week, at least we will be #5 seed.
If Vikings had lost today, then we'd be 13-3,and Packers 12-4. Then in week 18, if Vikings lose and Packers win, then both teams would be 12-4. Not sure who would be #5 and #6 in this situation.
If Washington wins tonight, then they will be tied with Green Bay. Not sure who would #6 and #7 seed here.
But for now the worst situation for the Vikings is #5, which is actually OK.
