Minnesota Vikings
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. For a team that’s riding a four-game winning streak and getting back to .500 after looking like a complete disaster a month ago, the number is a bit lower than one might expect. I think so,...

First and foremost, Happy New Year to everyone in the DN family. I hope 2026 brings health, happiness, and less collective agita from our shared passion: the Minnesota Vikings.
THAT’S A WRAP
The curtain closes on the 2025 season against the Green Bay Packers at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday. The fact that this team has shown a lot of heart and fight over the last month and can actually finish with a winning record is important and noteworthy, but, like all things Vikings, the experience is tinged with a tangible degree of frustration over what could have been.

This game at the beginning of the year looked like a marquee matchup. The luster is gone, but it’s the last Minnesota Viking football we’ll enjoy for eight months. The team has finished the season on a hot streak and hopes to keep that momentum going. J.J. McCarthy sounds like he’ll be ready to go. Justin Jefferson will be looking to get over the 1,000 yard mark for the season. The Packers are limping into the playoffs literally and figuratively. They plan on resting their starters, so I don’t anticipate much fight from the NFC 7 seed.

As we get closer to Sunday’s regular season finale at U.S. Bank Stadium, it appears that the quarterback situations for both the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers have gotten significantly clearer.
For the Vikings, it would seem that J.J. McCarthy is back on track to start for the Vikings on Sunday afternoon, as he was a full participant in Thursday’s second practice of the week after being limited on Wednesday. McCarthy suffered a hairline fracture in his throwing hand in the Vikings’ Week 16 win over the New York Giants and did not play in Week 17 when...

Happy New Year, everybody! It’s time to take a look at the second injury reports of the week for both the Green Bay Packers and our Minnesota Vikings ahead of Sunday’s regular season finale at U.S. Bank Stadium, so let’s go ahead and get to those now.

The 2025 NFL season will officially come to an end for the Minnesota Vikings at U.S. Bank Stadium on Sunday afternoon, as they’ll host their division rivals, the Green Bay Packers.
Green Bay won the first game of the annual home-and-home series this season at Lambeau Field by a score of 23-6 in what was an abysmal all-around performance by the Vikings. This time around, the Packers are locked into the #7 seed in the NFC playoffs while the Vikings are out of playoff contention, but the home team does come into this one riding a four-game winning streak and...

The final game of the 2025 regular season for our Minnesota Vikings is officially within sight, as the first injury reports for the week have been released. Let’s take a look at who’s dealing with issues and what capacity they’re practicing in (or not practicing in).
Daily Norseman
Now that the season is all but over with one meaningless game left to play, the attention is now on the offseason (at least for me). I hope the team can come out of this game injury free and I hope they play it safe with any starter that is already banged up like Brian O’Neill, TJ Hockenson, and JJ McCarthy. No use playing JJ now. They cannot risk him getting hurt again in a meaningless game. Yes, he needs snaps but the Packers will likely be sitting a bunch of starters too.
I’m not sure what the team is...
