Optimism isn’t something that Minnesota Vikings fans have in droves right now. They started 1-3 and struggled to maintain a lead throughout the season. The offense has also turned over the football 11 times versus only forcing three turnovers, which is tied for 30th in the NFL.
Despite all of that, the Vikings aren’t doing too bad with the underlying metrics and star players like Justin Jefferson are performing well.
Looking forward to the matchup with the Kansas City Chiefs on Sunday, the path to the Vikings starting 1-4 is relatively easy to see, especially since they are the reigning Super Bowl champions, but there is still plenty to be optimistic about.
