SemperFeist Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 33 points scored against the Bills, who I believe were the #1 scoring defense in the league when we played them. 33 points scored against the Patriots, who I believe were the #6 scoring defense when we played them. 27 points scored against the Jets, the leagues current #5 scoring defense. The last 4 games have been an absolute crucible for the offense, and to come away 3-1 is extremely encouraging. 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JDBrocks Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Let’s also not forget about dropped picks and dropped balls. The defense gave up a lot of terrible plays because of bad tackling, but this should’ve been a much bigger win. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

vike daddy Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 The Vikings' defense delivered two big stops, in spite of the Vikings' offense doing nothing (six plays, 5 yards) on their final two possessions, giving Minnesota 10 victories and putting them a step closer to a division title (they would have clinched had it not been for a Lions win). On the first, Zonovan Knight was stuffed twice near the goal line and two White passes fell incomplete (including some Vikings luck, as Braxton Berrios appeared to drop the fourth-down pass). The second ended with Camryn Bynum picking off White on the doorstep of the end zone, and that sealed the win. Those were two giant series for a Vikings defense that has taken some lumps but also found ways to come up big when games are on the line. https://www.nfl.com/news/2022-nfl-season-week-13-what-we-learned-from-sunday-s-games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vike daddy Posted December 4, 2022 Share Posted December 4, 2022 Sunday's win over the Jets was as much about the Vikings not beating themselves as it was anything the offense did specifically. Three Vikings drives netted 235 yards; the other nine drives prior to the end-game kneel down totaled a paltry 53. Cousins was partly to blame early, as he started 1 of 8 passing for 4 yards, although the Vikings' offensive line (without Christian Darrisaw again) struggled to protect well. Cousins did end the half on a 13-of-16 streak, throwing for only 100 yards but also taking care of the ball and leading three second-quarter scoring drives to provide a big lead early. The Vikings couldn't get much going offensively, as Justin Jefferson (seven catches, 45 yards, TD) and Dalvin Cook (20 rushes, 86 yards, TD) had ordinary days by their lofty standards. This might not have been one of the Vikings' best offensive performances -- and the Jets earn some credit for that -- but it was a relatively clean performance overall, with no turnovers, two offensive penalties and just enough when the clock hit all zeroes. https://www.nfl.com/news/2022-nfl-season-week-13-what-we-learned-from-sunday-s-games 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
