NFL Playoff Picture: Vikings Hold No. 1 Seed In NFC

Minnesota quarterback Case Keenum completed 25 of 30 passes (83.3 percent) for 227 yards with two touchdowns and no interceptions for a 120.4 passer rating in the Vikings’ 14-9 win at Atlanta. After the Philadelphia Eagles' loss to the Seattle Seahawks Sunday night, Minnesota is the new No. 1 seed in the NFC.

Keenum, who had a 114 passer rating in three November games and was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month, has posted a passer rating of at least 100 in four consecutive games, tying Brett Favre and Daunte Culpepper for the longest streak in franchise history.

If the Vikings are able to clinch the No. 1 seed over their last four regular-season games, they would have home field advantage throughout the playoffs, including the Super Bowl.

The Vikings' final four regular season matchups are:

• Week 14: Against Carolina Panthers on the road
• Week 15: Against Cincinnati Bangals at home
• Week 16: Against Green Bay Packers on the road
• Week 17: Against Chicago Bears at home

Here's what the NFC would look like if the playoffs started today:
