The Minnesota Vikings are quite an interesting team.
With Kirk Cousins as their starting quarterback, the Vikings were a 0.500 football team that was trending massively upward. Unfortunately, his torn Achilles tendon took him out for the season.
Since the injury, the Vikings are 3-3 and the defense has been on an absolute tear, going 11 full quarters not allowing a single touchdown before allowing three to the Cincinnati Bengals last Saturday.
It’s a difficult team to parse out because of the quarterback situation. When the offense is humming, things look great. Unfortunately, it hasn’t been that way with both Josh Dobbs and Nick Mullens at the helm. That is the conundrum that analysts are currently facing.
The latest power rankings are out and they reflect a team that is still hard to truly gauge.
