The Minnesota Vikings now sit at 7-1 on the season after a difficult 20-17 win over the Washington Commanders. The win marks the fourth come-from-behind win for the Vikings on their six-game winning streak.
Their winning streak isn’t your average one. In fact, they are one win away from tying an NFL record held by the 2020 Kansas City Chiefs.
Per @EliasSports: Vikings are the 4th team in NFL history to win six consecutive games by one score.
Record: 2020 Chiefs (7)

It’s a pretty wild evolution from last season when the Vikings were 6-8 on the season. When fluky things happened to this team, they would often go into the fetal position.
In the first eight games of the Kevin O’Connell era, things have taken a drastic turn. The Vikings consistently have made things work despite bad breaks and unfortunate circumstances.
Winning one-score games is usually an unsustainable metric, but seeing drastic improvement with the same core pieces from last season is a great sign for the future of the franchise.
