The Vikings offensive line better be ready for Sunday afternoon’s tilt against the Chargers.
They’ll have the test of Chargers defensive end Joey Bosa. In his fourth season, Bosa has 10.5 sacks. His Pro Football Focus grade of 88.7 ranks sixth in the entire league among edge rushers.
On the season, the Vikings have allowed just 20 sacks, a mark that ranks third in the entire league.
I would expect the Vikings to try to keep Bosa in check with screen passes and play-action passes.
Establishing the run with Dalvin Cook and Alexander Mattison early will be crucial for keeping Kirk Cousins safe.
