Another thing about the Vikings that I think is pretty misleading is the misconception that they are horrible against the pass. That is really false if you look at the numbers. They are 32nd in the NFL in passing yardage allowed per game but thats mostly because they are so damn tough against the run that nobody even tries to run on them much. If you look at yardage per attempt they are a very respectable 14th in the league. If you look at yardage overall the Vikings are ranked 19th, while not great thats not exactly terrible either. How about points? They rank 8th giving up only 18 pts a game, compared to the Redskins whom we think have a pretty good defense, the Skins give up 20 pts a game...

I think the Vikings are a pretty good team and we are gonna have a helluva time winning in MN. We are gonna have to be on the top of our game to come out with a victory.
