The Vikings still have a lot of work to do to get back into the postseason hunt.
The Vikings needed to beat the Bears on Sunday to keep their playoff hopes alive. It wasn't easy or pretty, but they got it done, thanks largely to a dominant defensive performance. This team theoretically has the talent to get back into the playoff hunt, even at 2-4, but they'll need to play much better on offense to have a shot at pulling off an upset over the 49ers on Monday night.
The good news is that the Vikings are now 1-0 without Justin Jefferson this season. The bad news: The offense didn't really have much to do with Sunday's 19-13 win in Chicago. The hope was that Jordan Addison, T.J. Hockenson and maybe Alexander Mattison could each help absorb some of Jefferson's production, and they did, at least to some extent — but the offense really labored outside of the impressive touchdown drive right before halftime.
Winning at Chicago may delay any of that talk of selling off parts at the trade deadline. They face a tough one against the 49ers this week.
