The final week of the NFL season typically has teams that are either seeing their season end or teams having nothing to play for. Whether that's having a division title or postseason seed secured, some teams do decide to rest players given what's ahead in January.

The Vikings are 14-2, one win away from tying the franchise record for most victories in a single season (15 in 1998). But the last "W" on the checklist is especially important.
