The Minnesota Vikings playoff odds may seem bleak, but the Baltimore Ravens had a similar path six years ago in claiming their second Super Bowl title.

The Minnesota Vikings have had plenty of twists and turns during the 2018 season. With several injuries, incidents and disappointing performances on the field, this season will be remembered even if the Vikings don’t fulfill their preseason potential with a Super Bowl appearance.

With the team currently sitting at a record of 6-6-1, a Super Bowl appearance doesn’t seem likely. Things may seem even more dire after the team made a desperation move to fire offensive coordinator John DeFilippo.

Despite all of this, there’s been a glimmer of hope that appeared on Twitter when examining the Vikings’ chances over the final three weeks.

Now, you’ll have to excuse me if the initial reaction to Chris Tomasson’s tweet is thinking the Minnesota Vikings have a Lloyd Christmas chance of not only making it to the Super Bowl, but winning the Super Bowl. However, the Ravens went on an improbable run six years ago and the Vikings have several traits that could extend the season further than many expect.
