They have an outstanding defense that was literally carrying that team. The Vikings team just isn't all that great. They have an outstanding coaching staff and fantastic defense but because they have a bad offense they are not normally capable of playing from behind.
They have no run game, an average at best QB, a bad oline, and garbage WRs. Thing is before the season people were saying they had a good oline and and 3 fantastic WRs. Well where are they?
In today's NFL you can be flawed and still win and the Vikings are proof of that last and this year. Denver is another.
There is nothing wrong with the Vikings defense. However, it's unrealistic to expect them to return two pick 6s for TD, or cause TOS every single week to bail the offense out.
