Minnesota Vikings: Defense is the team’s heart and soul

The Minnesota Vikings defense has often been the Achilles heel of the team, but last season the defense was the heart and soul that led us into Wild Card Weekend.

What stands out the most when you look back at the last 3 Super Bowl games played? I believe the most important factors have been the defensive side of the ball. It has required not only stand out individual performances, but more so the entire defense swarming to the ball.

Looking back at Super Bowl 48 the Seattle Seahawks came in as 2 point underdogs and wound up beating the Denver Broncos record-setting offense by the score of 43-8.
