A lot of nerdy stats, a lot of them reflecting poorly on the Minnesota Vikings, and we'll start with the big one.
We're still gonna talk about it anyway, knowing that it's a small sample size, because other teams deal with backup quarterbacks and inclement conditions as well.
So you, you ca- you still can't accept 31st and say, "This is fine." Uh, I dug into this a lot, so let's break it down.
They are 4 of 22 converting those, and they've actually had some pretty huge third and long conversions.
Uh, T.J. Hockenson touched down week one, Jordan Addison touched down week three.
