Minnesota Vikings. 18. team. 60. . 7-6.

The Vikings desperately needed a victory in Week 14 to keep their dwindling playoff hopes alive, and facing off against the horrid Jaguars was about the best thing Minnesota could have asked for.

A decisive 25-16 win in Jacksonville, capped off by 13 unanswered points in the fourth quarter, is exactly what the Vikings needed to do to stay relevant in the NFC North.

Quarterback Sam Bradford looked more like his early season self, going 24-of-34 for 292 yards and a touchdown. But a 3-of-11 third-down conversion rate still hints at there being more problems for the Vikings than likable solutions.

Week 16 against the Green Bay Packers will tell us a lot about the overall situation in Minnesota.
