Tight end Kyle Rudolph said the Vikings have discovered a winning formula on offense, part of which is doing no harm to their stingy defense.
“We just try not to screw it up for those guys,” Rudolph said Wednesday. “They’re pretty good on that side of the ball.”
Try very good.
The Vikings rank among the top five teams in the NFL in key per-game defensive categories, including scoring (17.5 points), rushing (78.7 yards) and total yards (295.5).
And no team is more efficient getting off the field when it matters most, on third down. Opponents only have converted 25 percent (18 for 72) on third down entering Sunday’s game against the Baltimore Ravens at U.S. Bank Stadium.
