The Minnesota Vikings improved to 6-0 on Sunday, becoming the lone undefeated team in the NFL following losses by the 49ers and Chiefs. Minnesota defeated Indianapolis 16-10 in a game shaped by its top-ranked scoring defense.
The Vikings have scored 125 points through six games, totaling just 10 touchdowns. Despite their perfect record, the offense ranks 23rd in scoring and 29th in passing yards per game. Quarterback Kyler Murray has led an attack that has relied heavily on the unit directed by defensive coordinator Brian Flores, described as "uber-aggressive."
"That is a heck of a disparity for an unbeaten team," Prisco said, noting the gap between Minnesota's record and its offensive production.
The schedule grows more difficult immediately. Minnesota's next four games are at the Lions, home against the Bills, at the Packers, and versus the 49ers in Mexico.
Elsewhere, the Dolphins moved past the Chargers after defeating the Jets. Los Angeles remains the NFL's only winless team at 0-6 following its bye and faces the Rams this week.
