During the first five weeks of the season, the Minnesota Vikings gave up an average of 26.2 points per game to their opponents. In the Vikings’ last four matchups, they have seen that average drop down to 18.3 per game.
The reason for this improvement can be attributed to a number of factors. Everything from who Minnesota has played most recently, adjustments the coaching staff has made since the early part of the season, and which players have been out on the field for the Vikings.
One guy who has not suited up for Minnesota during their last four games is starting safety Andrew Sendejo.
