Blowing 5-0 start to Super Bowl a year later? Vikings can follow Atlanta’s lead

As you probably already know and are also probably sick of hearing over and over and over again, the Vikings in 2016 became the sixth team since 1990 to miss the playoffs after starting a season with five straight wins. The Falcons started 5-0 last season before losing eight of their final 11 games, including one to the Vikings, to finish at .500.
