LANDOVER, Md. -- The Minnesota Vikings collapsed again, only to fall into the playoffs thanks to a safety net provided by the New Orleans Saints.
The Vikings wilted for the second year in a row with a chance to clinch a postseason spot in the last game of the season. They lost 21-18 to the Washington Redskins on Sunday, then retreated to the locker room to learn that they had backed into the playoffs as a wild card.
Because they lost, the Vikings needed New Orleans to beat Carolina or the New York Jets to beat St. Louis. The Saints won, 21-18.
The Vikings finished 8-8, losing seven of their last 10 after a 5-1 start. Last year, they fell from 6-0 to 9-7 and were eliminated by a touchdown pass on the last play of the season in an 18-17 loss to Arizona.
