Warning, lots of PFF rankings in this, so take it for what it is. But as much as Zimmer doesn't like PFF, I think it has a place, more in the overall numbers. I think PFF doesn't do well in the individual rankings of players, but looking at the number crunching from a wider perspective makes sense.
Overall team grade, points differential and yards per play, we are ranked 3rd behind the two undefeated teams. We are down in the turnover margin which has really lead to the two losses.
But what I find really interesting is this comparison. my comments in red.

Quote:It’s also worth mentioning that the 2019 Vikings are
currently meeting or outpacing the 2017 Vikings in these key measures
after 6 games. Both teams were 4-2 after six games. Here is some
comparisons:
Points Per Game: 2017: 20.3 (19th) | 2019: 25.0 (12th) our offense is much better
Points Per Game Allowed: 2017: 17.2 (5th) | 2019: 15.5 (6th) defense is even better
Point Differential: 2017: +19 | 2019: +57 big jump
Yards Per Play: 2017: 5.5 (12th) | 2019: 6.3 (3rd)
