The Minnesota Vikings have hit rock bottom in 2025.
They were shut out by the Seattle Seahawks last weekend, losing 26-0 at Lumen Field, and it marked their fourth consecutive loss to drop to an abysmal 4-8 record. It’s the first time they’ve been four games below .500 since Week 6 of the 2020 season.
Minnesota has virtually no chance of making the playoffs at this point unless a couple teams in the NFC utterly collapse down the stretch, but that chance isn’t zero quite yet. As the Vikings try to make one more last-ditch effort to regroup at the end of the year, here is what fans need to know ahead of Week 14 against the Washington Commanders.
