With Steelers win vs. Seahawks, Vikings control their own playoff destiny
The Pittsburgh Steelers took down the Seattle Seahawks by a score of 30-23. With this win, the Minnesota Vikings once again control their destiny again when it comes to the playoff race.
With a win tonight against the Green Bay Packers and another win next week at Ford Field against the Detroit Lions, the Vikings will clinch their spot in the 2023 NFL playoffs.
The Vikings have had a windy, difficult road to the playoffs as they have been battling life without starting quarterback Kirk Cousins, as he left in week eight with a torn Achilles. With three different starters at quarterback, including a rookie (Jaren Hall) and a veteran forced into the game after only five days to study the playbook (Josh Dobbs), this team has had to face significant adversity to get to this point.
Now, their playoff destiny lies in their own hands, with two all-too-familiar opponents in front of them. Minnesota needed help, and they got it. Now it’s time for them to finish the job.
