PFF loves them some Kendricks

[purplefaithful]

• Pro Football Focus ranks Eric Kendricks as the second-best linebacker in the NFL and says he is the Vikings’ most underrated player. “Kendricks has also allowed the second-lowest catch rate and produced the most pass breakups among linebackers while in coverage,” PFF wrote.

 if  Kendricks can stick with Wilson tonight this game will be close.

Agreed, I think tonight will come down to the performances of

Barr and Kendricks
Cook and Mattison

If each pairing plays well, makes plays, we win this one

I think you're 100% right. 

Special teams is the other way the Vikings can help themselves. 

Vikings road wins seem to coincide with small victories on special teams. It's a third of the game and this year lots of teams are struggling in that department.

The Vikings lost and the special teams unit was beaten. To wit.
