The 2018 Minnesota Vikings offense was woefully problematic, as we all know. We’ve talked ad nauseum about the bad running game, the pass heavy skew, and the inability to sustain drives like they did in 2017, for example.
Though one game, those things look a lot better in 2019, as does one other statistic I feel has been overlooked in the aftermath of the Vikes 28-12 opening day victory—red zone offense.
In 2018, Minnesota had a hard time getting the ball into the end zone when they had an opportunity, ranking 21st in red zone efficiency last year.
