NFL Power Rankings: Patriots climb entering Week 16

60. <p>The Minnesota Vikings continue to roll and looked spectacular against the Chicago Bears on Sunday in an NFC North match up. The Vikes got a 38-17 win that was more of a beatdown than the score indicates, and Minnesota fans have to be brimming with confidence heading into Week 16.</p> <p>For starters, it has put the Vikings on the cusp of clinching barring a two-game losing streak to end the season and a run form some of the Wild Card fringe teams. It also guarantees them a winning season.</p> <p>And quarterback Teddy Bridgewater looked absolutely studly in the game, accounting for five total touchdowns. Bridgewater threw more touchdowns (four) than he had incompletions (three) on Sunday, that kind of dominance.</p> <p>Adrian Peterson was held in check to a certain degree, just 18 carries for 63 yards, but he didn’t need to do more. Wide receiver Stefon Diggs had two big touchdown grabs on three total receptions in the game.</p> <p>Now the final two games will be key for the Vikings and it is a tough stretch. They host the New York Giants, who are fighting for a playoff spot in Week 16. Then they travel to take on the Green Bay Packers in an NFC North showdown that could determine the division winner.</p>. (9-5). Previous: . minnesota vikings. 10. team
