The Vikings did far more than win a game on Sunday in Atlanta.Minnesota’s 14-9 victory over the Falcons at Mercedes-Benz Stadium, also served as an announcement to the rest of the NFL that it has a blueprint for playoff success.

The formula the Vikings used on Sunday felt like exactly what they are going to need to do in the playoffs. Defense is the starting point for any success this team is going to have come January; Keenum and the offense need to do their part, but their most important job will be playing smart, not committing any turnovers and holding onto the ball for as long as possible to keep the defense fresh.
“I think they believe,” Zimmer said of his players. “I think they believed before, but the more you win and you go into somebody else’s stadium and you win against a good football team, it just continues to add to your confidence as we go forward. They were happy in the locker room, but they understand that we haven’t really done anything yet. We still haven’t won the division, we’ve still got a ways to go and playing in December here is going to be really important.”
