The Minnesota Vikings went 9-8 this season, missing the NFC playoffs and regressing by five games (14-3 last year).

Quarterback J.J. McCarthy only played in 10 games due to multiple injuries (yet again), thus questions still abound regarding his long-term viability at the position. 

To be fair, they did win five of their last six games, so things weren't completely a disaster at the end. Still, questions will be swirling in the offseason about the immediate direction of the franchise and what, if any, personnel decisions might have to be made in order for things to turn around.
