Minnesota Vikings
We have made it through the first quarter at U.S. Bank Stadium for this regular season finale, and your Minnesota Vikings lead the Green Bay Packers by a score of 3-0.

The results are in for our final SB Nation Reacts poll of the 2025 season for our Minnesota Vikings, so let’s take a look at what our readers had to say about our questions for this week, shall we?
Yes, we shall.
Our first question for the week, as always, was whether or not you feel the Vikings are moving in the right direction.
