The Las Vegas Raiders will face a somewhat unique play-caller during their Week 14 matchup against the Minnesota Vikings. Over the last few years, the Vikings’ defensive coordinator Brian Flores has developed a reputation as one of the most blitz-happy coaches in the NFL.
Dating back to his days as the Miami Dolphins’ head coach, Flores’ defenses had the second-highest blitz rate in the league during the 2020 and 2021 seasons at 40.8 and 39.6 percent, respectively.
Even now that he’s with a different club, not much has changed as he’s been dialing up the heat even more as the Vikings rank first in blitz rate at 47.
