It’s no secret that the Vikings’ offense is the strength of the team this season, and they’ve needed that unit to score a lot of points to have a chance to win. The defense, in contrast to just about every year in the Zimmer era, has been the weak link (special teams a close 2nd). This season, the Vikings defense has given up an average of 27.7 points per game - 27th in the league. And while the median team per game scoring is up about 15% over last year, the Vikings defense is on pace to give up 43% more points per game than they did last year.
