Run Defense: It's not like the Packers didn't expect to be run on all day. A defense that always plays the vast majority of it's snaps in nickle or dime flipped the script completely for this game.And they still couldn't stop the run (flashback to SF).
That was some of the heaviest personnel ever deployed by Pettine today...
Dime - 10 Snaps
Nickel - 3 Snaps
Base - 39 SnapsVikings made a strong decision to beef up.
