5 Vikings players to watch vs. the Chargers in Week 15

Who are the Minnesota Vikings players to watch when the team heads out west this week to take on the Los Angeles Chargers?

This Sunday, the Minnesota Vikings will head to the west coast to take on the five-win Los Angeles Chargers. While they do have eight losses this season, the Chargers are a much better team than what their current record indicates.

Los Angeles has some very good weapons on offense and their defense is especially strong. The Chargers defense has been stout against the run the last month and a half and they can also get after the opposing quarterback.

The Vikings are still in a good position to make the playoffs, but they do also have the Los Angeles Rams and Chicago Bears breathing down their necks.

Minnesota doesn’t need to get this win on the road to make the big dance, but it would sure be nice for them to get to 10-4 with two games to go. To do that, the Vikings will need to play mistake-free football and create big plays on both sides of the ball.

So as they make their final three-game push to get a spot in the 2019 NFL playoffs, who are five Minnesota players to watch closely this week?
