The NFL is starting to notice the Vikings special teams unit 👀
@jjones9 with some nuggets from Saturday mornings article.
WILD 🤯
The Vikings, per DVOA, have the No. 1 ranked Defense and Special Teams in the NFL.
The Offense though.... 3rd worst in the NFL at No. 30.
Fix this offense, the Vikings are truly Super Bowl contenders.

Vikings GM Nolan Teasley off to hot start.
Getting more value for J.J. McCarthy than many around the league thought the Vikings would.
@jjones9 with the intel.

When the #Vikings’ signed LB Kyle Van Noy to the active roster this week, he got more than a standard minimum salary for such a promotion. His deal pays $2.75m in base value with just under $2m guaranteed. Another $250k in incentives that start at 4 sacks (he’s already at 1.5).

Did not include this number in the story, but Vikings RBs currently have a 7.1% avoided tackle rate, per @FTNFantasy ... 32nd in the NFL by a healthy margin.
The Vikings are running the ball at one of the NFL’s highest clips.
But they’re also facing more third downs than most.
A lack of explosives on the ground adds more pressure to the currently unpolished passing game. This is notable:

Brian Flores' Vikings defense ranks 1st in total EPA allowed while also ranking in the top 2 in base personnel usage, blitz %, and heavy box rate, per @SumerSports
No other defense in the top 5 in total EPA allowed is in the top 10 of base/blitz/heavy box rates
