With the first weekend of the 2023 NFL playoffs now complete, we are looking back on the season that was for the Minnesota Vikings.
Despite a 7-10 record, the Vikings played well during the 2023 season. The defense improved from 31st in the National Football League to 16th in a very impressive turnaround. The scoring defense also improved to 13th in the NFL, which would have easily been top 10 in the league if it weren’t for the unit imploding at the end of the season.
There is a lot of hope for the future, as the unit was overall really good despite having a talent void.
The final grades from Pro Football Focus are in and reflect a unit that played well despite their late-season struggles.
