10 NFL Teams Most Likely To Play In Next Year's Super Bowl

4. Minnesota Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings arguably ended the 2015 season in the worst possible way. 'That' Blair Walsh missed FG handed the Vikings a loss to the Seattle Seahawks in the Wildcard round which gave a heartbreaking ending to what has been an impressive season for the team, which included a week 17 victory over Green Bay that ended the Packers four year dominance over the NFC North. Despite the heartbreak, there has been much to indicate that Minnesota have the potential to become one of the strongest teams in the NFC. An impressive sophomore season from Teddy Bridgewater combined with an Adrian Peterson rushing title to give life on offense, but it was the defense which really dominated this past year, giving away only 18.9 points per game, an impressive statistic which ranked 5th in the NFL. The Vikings entered the 2015 season with the 7th youngest squad in the NFL and showed improvements which clinched the division. If they can use free agency and the draft to improve on the weakest areas of the team, such as the O-line and the receivers, there is no reason why they cannot go all the way.
