Just the Numbers: Vikings Defensive Rankings after Week 8
The Minnesota Vikings have seven games in the books in 2021, losing last weekend to the Dallas Cowboys 20-16 in a lousy effort.
Minnesota travels to Baltimore to play the Ravens in Week 9. Baltimore is 5-2 and fresh off a bye week.
These are the Vikings defensive rankings before Week 9.
Please note: Bye weeks have begun, so all stats are ranked on a per-game basis.
