Acquiring eight-time Pro Bowl guard Quenton Nelson from the Indianapolis Colts cost the Seattle Seahawks a 2027 third-round pick and a 2028 fifth-round pick.
It isn't a secret that the Vikings' defense has been stellar this year. Heading into Week 8's NFC North clash with the rival Lions, the Purple and Gold are allowing the second-fewest yards (252.8), second-fewest passing yards (155.0) and fewest points allowed per game (12.3).
How many of the quarterbacks to post the fewest passing yards (while playing at least 90 percent of the offensive snaps) in a win for each NFL team can you name in five minutes?
