The Vikings are not a perfect team.
How’s the offense? It depends on the week. A few weeks ago, the Dallas defense stifled the Minnesota offense to help the Cowboys beat the Vikings in Week 8. However, Minnesota’s offense looked efficient in Weeks 10-11.
What about the defense? That group is also up and down. Opposing offenses torched the Vikings secondary through the first two weeks. However, Minnesota’s defense looked sharp in Week 10.
Is the special teams great? Kicker Greg Joseph has decided games with field goals — in both victories and defeats.
But every now and then, this Minnesota team gives you enough hope to stay positive about its playoff chances.
Through all the chaos 2021 has had to offer, the Vikings upset the Chargers on the road to move to 4-5. For this team, the only thing that’s predictable is its unpredictability.
