Minnesota Vikings: Week 7 NFL Power Rankings (#11)

Last week: 11 (+0)

Record: 4-2

Was their loss to the Redskins a bump in the road or a sign that they weren’t for real? I think it’s more the latter. The Redskins are an underrated squad who hasn’t lost to anyone by more than a touchdown. It’s not an easy place to go into and win. Minnesota still ranks 8th and 7th respectively in yards per play differential and rate of sustaining drives differential and remains the favorite to be this year’s team that goes from 5 wins or fewer to the playoffs, though Washington, 16th and 14th respectively in those 2 important stats, is creeping up on them quickly.
