The Vikings defense is so dominant that it's on a historic pace

Vikings pass defense on a historic pace

This season, the Vikings sees their opponent pass a staggering clip. NFL analyst Lindsay Rhodes is of the same belief that the volume of passing plays the Vikings see isn't important because they are so efficient in doing so.

The Vikings have faced a staggering 250 pass plays across five weeks, which is an average of 50 per game! Their pass rate against is a whopping 72.9%, which would be the highest since 2018 by a full six percent. That's a historic pace.

Going into week six, the Vikings have been phenomenal against the pass when you look at the advanced metrics

• 4th in EPA/pass against (-.28)
• 6th in passing yds/play allowed (5.3)
• 2nd in sacks (20)

The Vikings' pass defense continues to be elite in more ways than one.
