The Minnesota Vikings host the Los Angeles Chargers in what feels like a must-win game this Sunday at 12 pm Central.
Minnesota’s offense has moved the ball at a solid pace this season. Minnesota ranks eighth in total yards and second in the league in passing yards. There have been drives where this offense has looked like the top-ten offense expected from a play-caller like Kevin O’Connell. However, the points don’t match the production.
Their 45 points in the first two games is the 18th-best in the NFL, an unacceptable number for a team with this sort of offensive firepower, specifically in the passing game.
What will it take for the Vikings to pull off a win on Sunday? They will have to outgun an offense that has put up almost 30 points a game through the first two games.
How can they do that? We discuss that in this week’s offensive keys.
