  As Vikings fans enter the long winter of their purple discontent, here is a ray of sunshine, just in time for the holidays. My pre-season prediction of an 8-8 record for Minnesota this season has a good chance of coming true!

6-8: The Bent Gets Broken By zkonedog on Dec 20, 2020, 10:10pm CST + Since the 1-5 start to the 2020 season, the Minnesota Vikings defense has been on the verge of disaster seemingly every week. For the most part, though, somehow someway, that side of the ball was able to do just enough to allow the offense a chance in any given contest.
