Two years ago I set out to uncover the story behind Pro Football Focus. Where did it come from? What does it really do for NFL teams? How has it influenced the explosion of NFL analytics in the last five years? What I found was an unbelievable story amazon.com/Football-Numbers-…

The Minnesota Vikings defense is at it again, making countless plays in the first two weeks to lead the Vikings to a 2-0 record. The fascinating thing about the unit is how many players took the hard way to starting for Brian Flores.
Why are there so many underdogs on the Vikings' defense? I asked four of them - Andrew Van Ginkel, Josh Metellus, Eric Wilson and Jacob Thomas - that question this week

I’m a little confused as to why something he said off the record was published like that
"It's something that was not intended for public use. I reached out to Sean. It's a lesson learned. I have to be better in that moment. I'm responsible for what I say. I fell short in that moment. It stings for me. It's something I'm going to learn from."
