Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings have dropped out from the NFL playoffs losing back-to-back games but hopes to finish strong to take in some positives before the season ends. This team lost to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and the latest was a six-point loss against the Chicago Bears, 27-33. In that game, Kirk Cousins had 271 yards, 69% completion, two touchdown passes and one interception. Dalvin Cook helped the team leading them with 24 rushing attempts and it resulted in 132 yards and one touchdown. After this, they will still have the Detroit Lions to battle for NFL Week 17 for their last game of the season.  

Players to watch: K. Cousins QB (GP 14 CMP 294 ATT 435 CMP% 67.6 YDS 3569 AVG 8.2 YDS/G 266 LNG 71 TD 29 INT 13 SACK 34 SYL 217 RTG 102.4), D.

New Orleans Saints

The New Orleans Saints chose a bad time to have a slump as their back-to-back losses resulted in them failing to secure the top spot in the National Football Conference. This team fell to the Philadelphia Eagles and the most recent was with the defending champions Kansas City Chiefs, 29-32. Drew Brees returned to the roster and provided the team with 234 yards, three touchdown passes in a subpar 44% completion. Alvin Kamara had only 54 yards in 11 rushing attempts while three different receivers scored for the Saints. This team looks to finish strong as they will still have to deal with the Carolina Panthers for their last game of the season.

Players to Watch: D. Brees QB (GP 10 CMP 234 ATT 332 CMP% 70.5 YDS 2430 AVG 7.3 YDS/G 243.1 LNG 52 TD 21 INT 4 SACK 11 SYL 79 RTG 107.4), A.
