The Minnesota Vikings had an incredible 14-3 regular season last year, which came down to a Week 18 clash with the Detroit Lions for the NFC North crown, the conference's top seed and a first-round bye.
Detroit took down the Vikings 31-9 and claimed the NFC's bye, which sent Minnesota (as a 14-win team) to Los Angeles for a wild-card game against the Rams that they lost 27-9. That winner-take-all game between the Vikings and Lions sparked plenty of debate on whether wild-card teams with better records should have to play on the road in their first playoff game. Minnesota's superstar receiver Justin Jefferson was recently asked whether wild-card teams with a better record should be given home field advantage in the future.
