The Vikings head into the playoffs off the back of their worst loss of the season. It was a demoralizing defeat in Detroit that they'll be hearing about all week leading into Monday night's wild-card round finale against the Rams.

The quarterback's difficulties stood out, but the head coaches each earned some focus, a running back rolled and a kicker did something silly.

Darnold played poorly on Sunday night against the Lions. His resilience will determine the Vikings' postseason fate in the coming weeks.
