No NFL coach would ever talk about clinching a division before the task was at hand. There’s a pretty good chance the Patriots , Steelers and Vikings could do the deed in early December, particularly if Minnesota wins at Detroit on Thanksgiving Day. Considering the lack of contenders in other divisions, that also carries a strong likelihood of being the conference championship matchup. A Vikings win on Thursday would provide a three-game cushion with remaining games against weaklings Cincinnati and Chicago. That was a really good football team today, and we’re going to get a really good football team and a really good defence next week.
