Man what a great outing. Makes me think that Minnesota secondary is even better than advertised. There were several gigantic pockets that never collapsed, giving Wilson all day to throw, and this was against one of the best pass defensive lines in the league. Yes, the Vikings got their licks in, and there was the one bone-headed play by Ifedi, but even the best lines give up pressures now and then, especially against a heavy blitz.
The all-22 would be really interesting on this game, looking at both team's lines and secondaries.
What I saw on the broadcast, though, was a solid line that has made huge strides under Solari. Their pass protection seems to have caught up to their run blocking. The balance of that level of protection, combined with 214 yards rushing, against a solid run defense, is the mark of a great line.
They were definitely above average last night. I think their continued success is the key that will take us deep into the playoffs. If they continue to play like they did last night, we will be in every game.
