Back to the Minnesota Vikings Newsfeed

Are we seeing the return of the Purple People Eaters?

The Minnesota Vikings limited the New York Giants to just 10 points in their victory on Monday Night Football. Through 4 games this season, the Vikings have allowed just 50 points, their fewest since allowing 47 through their first four games in 1988.

That season, they started 3-1 and finished 11-5. The 2016 team is 4-0 through 4 games.

They are limiting top quarterbacks

Three of the 4 quarterbacks the Vikings have faced this season have either won or appeared in a Super Bowl, including the last two league MVP Award winners (Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton).
