team. 60. . 6-6. . Minnesota Vikings. 19

Forget the five-game winning streak the Minnesota Vikings had to start the season.

This team is also in total free-fall mode, having lost six of its last seven games and dropping a Thursday Night Football bout to the Dallas Cowboys by a score of 17-15.

Granted, staying close against the Cowboys is room for a “moral victory” of sorts. But losing a Thursday night home game, paired with how cold Minnesota has been, means the Vikings are where they are right now in spite of their .500 record.

If only the Vikings could get that combination of quarterback Sam Bradford and wide receiver Stefon Diggs back on track. It was mostly absent this week.
