Vikings defensive PFF grades in Week 16 loss vs. Lions

The Vikings had some of the worst tackling grades this season

The Minnesota Vikings are now on the outside looking in for a playoff spot heading into week 17 after losing a 30-24 heartbreaker to the Detroit Lions.

The defense had moments of success but their lack of effort tackling paired with injuries that hindered the unit ended up making things way worse.

The grades from Pro Football Focus are out from Sunday’s game and they reflect just as poorly on the defense as you might expect.
