Minnesota Vikings Snap Counts for Week 13 vs. Arizona Cardinals
The Minnesota Vikings have captured their second five-game winning streak of the season after defeating the Arizona Cardinals in Week 13.
However, the game didn’t come without plenty of stress as the Vikings battled back from a 19-6 deficit in the fourth quarter. In the end, Sam Darnold was electric down the stretch, and Minnesota’s defense held strong during the ferocious comeback. With the game now in the rearview mirror, here is a look at the Vikings’ snap counts from their Week 13 victory to improve to 10-2 on the season.
Offense
- LT Cam Robinson (53)
- LG Blake Brandel (53)
- C Garrett Bradbury (53)
- RG Dalton Risner (53)
- RT Brian O’Neill (53)
- WR Justin Jefferson (51)
- WR Jordan Addison (50)
- TE T.J. Hockenson (34)
- WR Jalen Nailor (31)
- RB Aaron Jones (28)
- TE Johnny Mundt (22)
- RB Cam Akers (16)
- FB C.J. Ham (15)
- TE Nick Muse (8)
- RB Ty Chandler (5)
- WR Brandon Powell (3)
- WR Trent Sherfield (2)
After being held under 50 yards in two of the last three games, Justin Jefferson showed up in a big way on Sunday, catching seven passes for 99 yards to help Minnesota complete their comeback. Aaron Jones also bounced back from a turnover blunder early in the game to be the hero, catching a five-yard game-winning TD.
Sticking with the RB position, it has become clear that the Vikings are not trusting in Ty Chandler to hold down snaps out of the backfield. The RB position will be a big topic of discussion this upcoming offseason.
Defense
- CB Byron Murphy (82)
- S Camryn Bynum (82)
- LB Blake Cashman (82)
- S Harrison Smith (75)
- S Josh Metellus (65)
- OLB Jonathan Greenard (62)
- CB Shaquill Griffin (55)
- OLB Pat Jones (49)
- DT Harrison Phillips (42)
- DT Jonathan Bullard (40)
- DT Jihad Ward (39)
- DT Jerry Tillery (35)
- CB Stephon Gilmore (35)
- CB Fabian Moreau (31)
- OLB Dallas Turner (26)
- DT Jalen Redmond (15)
- LB Kamu Grugier-Hill (13)
- S Theo Jackson (5)
- LB Jamin Davis (4)
The Vikings have been holding their secondary together with veterans all season, and now, they are dealing with their first major ailment after Stephon Gilmore left Sunday’s game with a hamstring injury.
In his stead, Fabian Moreau played 31 snaps on Sunday, and he was targeted five times, allowing two receptions for 31 yards and a touchdown. If Gilmore is unable to suit up next weekend against the Atlanta Falcons, expect to see plenty of Moreau and perhaps some Dwight McGlothern as well.
Special Teams
- OLB Bo Richter (21)
- LB Brian Asamoah (21)
- S Theo Jackson (21)
- OLB Dallas Turner (16)
- CB Nahshon Wright (15)
- DT Jalen Redmond (14)
- RB Ty Chandler (14)
- WR Trent Sherfield (14)
- S Josh Metellus (14)
- FB C.J. Ham (14)
- TE Nick Muse (12)
- K John Parker Romo (12)
- TE Johnny Mundt (12)

- LG Blake Brandel (6)
- IOL Dan Feeney (6)
- LT Cam Robinson (6)
- OT David Quessenberry (6)
- LB Blake Cashman (1)
- WR Brandon Powell (1)
Perfect no more is John Parker Romo after he went 3-for-4 on Sunday on his field goal attempts, missing a 43-yard kick. It couldn’t have come at a worse time for Romo either with Will Reichard being designated to return to practice.
Separately, what a pick up Jalen Redmond has been for the Vikings. The former UDFA not only put together double-digit special teams snaps on Sunday, but he recorded a pair of tackles for loss on the defensive end as well.
