With five games remaining, the Minnesota Vikings have overcome a 0–3 start and numerous injuries to hold onto a postseason berth.
Minneapolis, Minnesota (AP) — After suffering a season-ending injury to quarterback Kirk Cousins, the Minnesota Vikings struggled to a 0–3 start, missing seven games without superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson, and starting three different quarterbacks.
So, with five games remaining, how have they been able to hold onto their playoff spot? That’s a credit to Brian Flores, who will surely be considered for head coach positions across the NFL when the next hiring cycle starts after his audacious debut as Minnesota’s defensive coordinator.
“I’m enjoying myself immensely as this team’s coach. “I am grateful for the chance to lead this team of guys,” Flores remarked. Coaching this group is enjoyable. They put forth a lot of effort in their work. It’s significant to them.
