Vikings’ Success May Be Short-Lived: CBS Sports Predicts Drop-Off in 2025

The Minnesota Vikings have been one of the most consistent teams in the NFL over the past few seasons making the playoffs in 2022 and 2023. However, according to CBS Sports, the Vikings may be primed for a drop-off in 2025.

In a recent article, CBS Sports highlighted several factors that could contribute to the Vikings’ decline. One of the main concerns is the team’s aging roster. The Vikings have several key players, including quarterback Kirk Cousins, who are on the wrong side of 30. While Cousins has shown no signs of slowing down, the team’s reliance on older players could catch up with them in 2025.

Another factor that could contribute to the Vikings’ drop-off is the team’s lack of depth on defense. The Vikings have invested heavily in their offense, but their defense has been inconsistent at times. With several key defenders set to hit free agency in the offseason, the Vikings may struggle to replace them.

The Vikings’ schedule is also a concern. In 2025, the team will face a tough slate of opponents, including the Green Bay Packers, the Chicago Bears, and the Detroit Lions. The Vikings will also have to travel to face several tough teams on the road, including the San Francisco 49ers and the Los Angeles Rams.
