Even though the Vikes knocked off the Super Bowl champion New York Giants during the season, they simply couldn’t win on the road (3-5). A quick look into their overall stats brings things into focus. Total first downs? The Vikes had 294 but gave up 305. Third down conversions? Minnesota had 69 out of 200 attempts but also gave up 94 out of 234. The real telling stat is total passing yards where super soph Tarvaris Jackson racked up 2745, but the defense surrendered 4225. Minnesota was just an average team with an average record.
