4 defensive keys for Vikings vs. Broncos

The Vikings defense has been a much-improved unit this season. To stop a surging Broncos offense, they need to follow these keys.

The Minnesota Vikings go on the road to Mile High Stadium to face the Denver Broncos in primetime on Sunday at 7:20 p.m. CST.

These are two of the hottest teams in the National Football League with the Vikings on a five-game winning streak and the Broncos on a three-game winning streak.They face off in an important game with both being potential wild-card teams.

Denver is coming off of a monumental win against the Buffalo Bills that has them back in playoff talks, as they are only a game out of the seventh seed.

Minnesota controls their destiny as they have a 1.5-game lead on the Tampa Bay Buccaneers for the NFC’s third and final wild-card spot.

Denver’s success has come from a resurgence from the offense that has them 10th in EPA/dropback and 11th in EPA/rush since their winning streak started in week seven.

It will be a difficult task for Brian Flores and this Vikings team to get them off track. But to do it, they will need to follow these four keys.
