The Vikings defense has been struggling with the injury bug all year, and this unit is depleted all around. They've lost almost all of their production at edge rusher, with Danielle Hunter and Anthony Barr on IR, and Yannick Ngakoue traded away. Now middle linebacker Eric Kendricks is out, and Todd Davis will likely slide inside. Their secondary is getting healthier, but they still have 3 defensive backs on injured reserve, and the holes on this defense are showing, as they've held just 2 opponents under 20 points all year.
