What to watch with Vikings on defense

With much being made about the Denver Broncos’ top-ranked defense, it’s almost unthinkable that the Broncos offense, given its recent history, is being pushed to a secondary story as the Minnesota Vikings prepare to travel to the Mile High City.

However, the prevailing storyline for the Vikings this week has been handling the pressure the Broncos bring with their defense.

The Vikings haven’t been too shabby at that aspect of defense, either.

Over the last two games, the Vikings have been credited with 20 quarterback hits and eight sacks against a couple of accomplished quarterbacks – Matthew Stafford of the Lions and Philip Rivers of the Chargers.
