Average would be the best way to describe the Minnesota Vikings offense right now, but is it on the verge of something better? The Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles will find that out on Sunday when they welcome the Vikings to Lincoln Financial Field in a rematch of last years’ NFC Championship Game.
There’s plenty of reasons to think that this is just who the Vikings are offensively. Their offensive line is giving up pressures at a historic rate and there’s not much they can do about it in October. The anemic and ailing run game is not creating clear lanes and running back Dalvin Cook is still not close to 100% health as he nurses a hamstring injury.
