Vikings offensive PFF grades in Week 5 loss vs. Chiefs

The grades from Pro Football Focus are in for the Minnesota Vikings 27-20 loss to the Kansas City Chiefs and they came in rather favorably.

Outside of the Vikings first play of the game where they fumbled the ball away to the Chiefs, the offense played relatively well. Kirk Cousins had arguably his best game of the season in terms of decision-making and pocket management.

The passing game outside of Cousins wasn’t great. Justin Jefferson got hurt and T.J. Hockenson struggled to haul in some tough footballs outside of his catch radius.

Here are the offensive PFF grades from Sunday’s loss to the Chiefs.
