MINNEAPOLIS (AP)  The Minnesota Vikings have outscored their opponents this season during the fourth quarter and overtime by 78 points, the best total in the league.Those first 45 minutes of the game matter, too. This problem the Vikings have of falling behind  by a lot, sometimes  can't be dismi sed as they prepare for the playoffs.When we lose, we lose bad, wide receiver Justin Jefferson said after the on Sunday. We have to find a way to fix that.The Vikings (12-4) clinched the NFC North with four games to go thanks to their crunch-time performances, setting a single-season NFL record with 11 wins by eight or fewer points. They've more than made up for sloppy, sluggish or substandard starts with strong finishes.Over the past four games, though, the  Francisco Liriano Jersey Vikings have outscored their opponents in one first quarter, no second quarters and one third quarter.Coach Kevin O'Connell pointed first to the by his team's potent offense, but broadened the blame to implore the defense, special teams and coaching staff to step up as well and help stop the avalanche that has happened to these Vikings too often.They've fallen behind by 33 or more points in three of their past seven games, Blank Jersey  a rare occurrence for the worst of teams  let alone a division winner.The Vikings are only the second NFL club in the past 10 years and the ninth since the salary cap was installed in 1994 to face a 33-plus-point deficit three times in the same season, according to Sportradar data.Arizona in 2018 was the only team to do so in four different games. The other three-timers were Buffalo in 2012, Tampa Bay in 2011, St. Louis in 2009, San Francisco in 2005, Arizona in 2003, Cleveland in 2000 and Philadelphia in 1998. The cumulative record of those clubs was 28-100. Only one (Buffalo: 6-10) won more than four games.That explains why the Vikings, according to the latest , are favored by just 2 points on Sunday at Chicago (3-12) against a team with the second-worst record in the league. WHAT'S WORKINGJosh Metellus for the second straight game. The third-year backup safety has become a stalwart on special teams, where the Vikings will need more contributions such as that to be a factor in the playoffs.WHAT NEEDS HELPThe offensive line is reeling.  David Freese Jersey Backup center Austin Schlottman broke his lower leg on a second-and-goal run from the 1 that went for no gain. Right tackle Brian O'Neill also left in the first quarter after hurting his calf during an .We felt their lo s, O'Connell said.With starting center Garrett Bradbury (back) sidelined for a fourth straight game and primary backup tackle Blake Brandel (knee) on injured reserve, the Vikings had to turn to Chris Reed at center and Oli Udoh at right tackle. Reed, who played tackle in college and has been a guard his whole NFL career, was out of sync with quarterback Kirk Cousins on multiple snaps. The Vikings had five penalties up front: two delay of games, two false starts and one holding.STOCK UPDuke Shelley started his fourth game at cornerback, even with Cameron Dantzler returning again from injury. Shelley broke up a pa s in the end zone in the first quarter and did not allow a completion, per Sportradar calculation. That was his first such shutout as a starter.STOCK DOWNOutside linebacker Za'Darius Smith has only been credited with one half of a sack over the past seven games Sean Rodriguez Jersey . For the first time all season, Smith failed against his former team to register a single quarterback pre sure, according to Sportradar analysis.INJURIESThe injuries to O'Neill and Schlottman were pretty significant, O'Connell said Monday, and will keep them out this week. Their status for the playoffs has yet to be determined. Bradbury has been progre sing, O'Connell said, but his return for the playoffs remains more hopeful than certain. KEY NUMBER  minus-97. That's the league-worst point differential for the Vikings over the first three quarters this season. UP NEXTThe Vikings can't finish ahead of the NFC East champion, whether it's Philadelphia or Dallas. San Francisco has control of the No. 2 seed with a game against Arizona remaining. Unle Gregory Polanco Jersey  s the Cardinals  who by losing would secure the No. 3 overall pick in the draft  can help by stunning the 49ers, the Vikings will have the No. 3 seed and only one guaranteed home game for the playoffs.Despite the decreased drama around their NFC standing and the importance of physical health for the playoffs, a complete performance  or better yet, a convincing victory  over the Bears would serve the Vikings well on the heels of the clunker against the Packers.Thats really what I want to see out of our team: Correct some of the things that we can control just acro s the board, O'Connell said.___AP NFL: hub/NFL and AP_NFL   in this topic
