Bleacher Report analyst Brad Gagnon has stated that the Minnesota Vikings' Super Bowl aspirations are over. This assessment follows the Vikings completing a 'competitive rebuild' in 2024, which was expected to open a Super Bowl window.

The Vikings have a strong defense under coordinator Brian Flores, but their future success hinges on quarterback performance, especially with a looming summer quarterback battle between Murray and McCarthy.
