That offense though - SFVikingFan - 09-28-2017
-- Only the New England Patriots (440.7) are averaging more yards per game than the Vikings (400.7), with the passing attack (285.3 yards/game) ranked third in the NFL and Bradford and Keenum combining to generate a 115.4 passer rating – fourth-highest in the League.
-- Wide receivers Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs rank second and third, respectively, in receiving yards, giving the Vikings the only tandem in the top 10 and marking the first time two of the top three receivers in yardage after Week 3 were on the same team since the 2000 St. Louis Rams with Isaac Bruce and Torry Holt.
-- Rookie Dalvin Cook already has 288 rushing yards and trails only fellow rookie Kareem Hunt (401) in that category.

@casekeenum7's 94.6 QBR was the highest in the NFL in Week 3.

The #Vikings are the only team with multiple players ranking in the top 10 for scrimmage yards.
They have three (Cook, Diggs and Thielen).

That last statistic above is just crazy. This offense is completely on fire right now.

Top Tandem
Through three games, Thielen has 299 receiving yards, and Diggs has 293, which are two of the top five totals by a Viking to start a season. Gene Washington (397 in 1969) has the record, and Diggs had 325 in his first three games of 2016. Thielen and Diggs are now bookending Hall of Famer Cris Carter, who totaled 297 in his first three games of the 1997 season.

It's all nice for now...Hope it can sustain at a high level for a long time.
Next 3 games vs NFCN should give us a better measuring stick of whether this is real or a function of playing the Saints D and beat-up Bucs.

Quote: @SFVikingFan said:It is. I would never have predicted this kind of start for the offense. This new offensive line is allowing Shurmur to run a very diversified and unpredictable offense. Great 3 game start to the season, let's hope it continues.
