21. Minnesota Vikings (LW: 25)
It certainly hasn’t been pretty, but the Vikings’ back-to-back wins send them into their bye week with a somewhat respectable — given the team’s expectations — record of 4-5. Before we even nudge the Vikings towards the level of ‘mediocre,’ however, it is worth noting that all four of their victories have been against teams with losing records — Rams, Falcons, Buccaneers, and Redskins.
