Vikings defense is brutalizing opposing QBs according to PFF

The Vikings are off to a 4-0 start, and it’s not only because quarterback Sam Darnold is having a career year through four games. Another major reason is the Minnesota defense. Under defensive coordinator Brian Flores, the Vikings’ defense has been one of the best in the league.

Through four weeks, the Vikings are leading the NFL with 17 sacks and are tied for fourth with three forced turnovers. With how much havoc the Vikings’ defense has been wreaking on the opposition, the opponent’s quarterbacks have had terrible PFF grades.

According to Pro Football Focus, the Vikings’ defense has not allowed an opposing quarterback to have an offensive grade higher than a 68.8 through four games.

Giants’ Daniel Jones had a 57.2 grade, 49ers’ Brock Purdy was slightly better with a 61.2 grade, Texans’ C.J. Stroud ended the loss with a 64.6 grade, and Packers’ Jordan Love was the best with a 68.8 grade.

The Vikings will get former rival Aaron Rodgers and the Jets in London this Sunday. We will see if Minnesota can keep up the terror on the opposing quarterback.
