When last we saw the Minnesota Vikings, they were getting spanked by the Eagles in the NFC Championship Game.
However, much has changed since then.
The Vikings swapped 2017 Cinderella quarterback Case Keenum for a more proven commodity in Kirk Cousins. It cost the team a three-year, $84 million contract that's fully guaranteed. For that kind of cabbage, the edict is clear.
It's Super Bowl or bust.
On defense, the Vikings made one of the best value signings of the offseason with the addition of 3-technique lineman Sheldon Richardson. With Richardson joining Everson Griffen, Danielle Hunter and Linval Joseph, the front four went from really, really good to flat-out filthy.
The two-headed receiving monster that is Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen. The return of dangerous tailback Dalvin Cook. A secondary that's equal parts deep and talented.
This is a team built to do one thing: get payback against the Eagles and advance to Atlanta for Super Bowl LIII.
