Minnesota Vikings News and Links: Thursday December 23, 2021

Good Morning!

Looking forward to the Rams game on Sunday. It will determine if the Vikes are still in it or if the season is basically over. A loss on Sunday and then against GB and it is spring cleaning time. The team needs at least one win of those two and really needs two to keep control of their own destiny. Go Fins.
