The next four weeks are more important than ever

The Pittsburgh Steelers were the last AFC team on the schedule for the Minnesota Vikings this year. For their final four games, they will travel to Chicago, host the Rams, travel to Green Bay, then host the Bears.

Three division games might not matter since catching the Packers in the NFC North will be a huge challenge. But the fact they are conference games would mean quite a bit when it comes to tiebreakers for the playoffs.

The biggest game on the list will be the Rams at U.S. Bank Stadium in Week 16. The Rams are 8-4 and currently sit in one of the Wild Card spots. A win over them would give Minnesota the head-to-head tiebreaker in case they end the season with an identical record.

Minnesota will have some extra time to heal up and prepare before the game in Chicago on Sunday, Dec. 19. Hopefully, they can make the most of this time and come out with a great game plan to beat the Bears and get positive momentum going for the final quarter of the season.
