The Vikings have done something no one else has done in over 100 years
According to ESPN's Kevin Seifert, the Vikings are the first team since 1925 to win at least six of their first eight games despite failing to score a touchdown in three or more of those contests.
Key points
- Carried by an extraordinary defense that got them a 6-0 start, the offense's woes have worsened over the past two weeks, and it has taken the brunt of the blame for the two losses.
- But after Monday's loss to the Buffalo Bills, it was clear the offense needed a major change, leading to the Kirk Cousins trade.
- Those teams were the Detroit Panthers and the Frankford Yellow Jackets.
Poor weather conditions in their win over the Chicago Bears and Kyler Murray's second start since returning from injury in Week 4 against the Miami Dolphins gave the Vikings some grace.
The Minnesota Vikings are 6-2 despite an offense that hasn't sustained success through the first half of the season.
Additional details
- Remarkably, Minnesota is actually 2-1 in those touchdown-less games.
- We will see if it pays off this week against the Green Bay Packers.
