The Minnesota Vikings earned the victory by the score of 24-16. The Vikings improve to 5-2 and now alone sit atop of the NFC North division. It was defensive and special teams type game as both offenses were stymied.
The Minnesota Vikings played a similar game as last week. The team was very content running the ball and playing defense. The defense has really stepped up the last three weeks giving the Vikings a spark.
The common theme over the last three weeks for the defense has been their ability to get pressure on the quarterback.
