I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, the 2020 Minnesota Vikings are impossible to predict. They have one of the most elite offenses in the league, but limit the explosiveness by design. The defense shows up, sometimes, and the offensive line seems better (minus Dakota Dozier), when healthy. Then there’s the mistakes.
It’s those mistakes (special teams, safeties allowed, turnovers, turnovers that turn into defensive touchdowns, etc.) that make the Vikings particularly hard to predict. It is also those mistakes (along with some scratch your head until it bleeds) that have removed any margin of error for the purple.
