Rationally, it’s fairly ridiculous to even talk about the playoffs considering the Vikings are 5-8 and have a less than 1% chance of moving on to the postseason. On most NFL playoff trackers, they don’t even show up “in the hunt” because they’re so far behind in the standings.

Quinn Allen breaks down his early Commanders vs. Giants predictions ahead of Sunday's NFC East clash at MetLife Stadium.

Daniels and McCarthy were taken in the same draft (2024), both in the first round. Daniels, selected second overall by Washington, enjoyed a great rookie season.
