With the momentum shifting in the NFC North, there is no reason to think that the newly crowned Minnesota Vikings cannot repeat as division champions.

It hasn’t been a recurring theme in the last decade, but give credit where credit is due, the Minnesota Vikings deservedly won the divisional title.

Not many could count on hand how many times in the last decade the Vikings have marched into hostile territory, in Green Bay, Wisconsin nonetheless; won a game, and secured the division with a first round home game in the playoffs.

The playoff game itself against the Seattle Seahawks didn’t finish exactly how the Minnesota Vikings faithful would have liked, but the team took positive strides toward the future of what potentially could be if they continue to work hard and add the correct pieces to the team.

With the NFL draft over, the Vikings feel as if they may have added a key offensive weapon with their first round pick from Ole Miss, Laquon Treadwell; and some depth reinforcement in the corner back group with Mackensie Alexander.

A few more pure athletes were added to the mix with physical specimens Willie Beavers and Stephen Weatherly, then also taking a gamble on a freakishly gifted athlete with limited experience in the German born wide receiver, Moritz Böhringer.

Nobody knows exactly what kind of production Minnesota should expect from its rookie, but if it’s presumably like any other draft class they’ve had in the last four years, the Minnesota Vikings shouldn’t be surprised if more than a few performed better than expected.

As the Vikings get better, the expectation of them staying atop the division becomes more assumed rather than an imaginary thought. This article discusses the five reasons why I think the Minnesota Vikings can repeat as division champions for the first time since the 08′ and 09′ seasons.
