Red zone to end zone
The Vikings got out of Soldier Field with a win despite going 0-2 in the red zone. That may not do the trick today against the Rams. And the Rams have the NFL’s best red zone defense. St. Louis allows opponents to score TDs on only 31.3% of their trips to the red zone, a staggeringly low number. To lend context to that, the NFL’s 2nd-ranked red zone defense (Cincinnati) yields a TD on 43.8% of possessions. The Vikings have scored TDs on 38.1% of their red zone trips, and they’ll be looking to increase that number this week.
