The Vikings defense, which started the season so strong, has been humbled lately. After allowing 31 points to the Lions in Week 7, Minnesota then gave up 30 points to the Rams. The Vikings defense has been particularly vulnerable on the court over the past two weeks as David Montgomery, Jahmyr Gibbs and Kyren Williams all had great fantasy days.
You can imagine how this proud quitting unit must be feeling heading into week 9.
The Colts represent a much easier matchup for the Vikings, but they benched Anthony Richardson for Joe Flacco, and Jonathan Taylor is finally healthy. And as mentioned, the Vikings have been cutting back on production on the ground in recent weeks.
Will they bounce back in a plus match against a supposedly lesser opponent?
