The slumping Minnesota Vikings don’t have many more opportunities to rejuvenate their fading hopes for a second straight postseason berth. Minnesota has lost four of its last five games. The Vikings’ next shot to turn things around comes Sunday at Lambeau Field. The Vikings have won at Green Bay each of the last two seasons. A victory Sunday would give the Vikings three straight road wins over the Packers for the first time since 1991-93.
