The Minnesota Vikings are 4-5 after beating the Chargers in Los Angeles Sunday 27-20. Star Tribune Sports Columnist Jim Souhan joined me on WJON today. He says the NFC is very competitive for the last 2 playoff spots.
The Twins could win the division or end up being a wildcard team. With tie-breakers factored in, this weekend, everything could be flipped turned upside down.
On the brink of elimination the Minnesota Wild find a way to get the job done and stay alive in the playoffs. The team now trails 3-2 in the series after picking up the 5-4 overtime victory against the Dallas Stars last (Friday) night.
