Minnesota’s defense has been inconsistent over the course of the last three games.
Against the Jaguars, the group was good, until it gave up a very important scoring drive near the end of the matchup. In the game vs. the Buccaneers, the group could not generate a pass rush and Tampa Bay cruised to a win.
The Bears offense ran over the Vikings defense on Sunday, putting up 33 points in route to a costly loss for Minnesota.
Some of the team’s recent defensive struggles are on account of Eric Kendricks’ absence. He has missed three consecutive games with a calf injury. Based on Thursday injury report, he will be missing his fourth.
