Analysis
Minnesota’s defense is giving up just 13.2 points per game, one of the stingiest marks in football, and it’s the main reason the Vikings are 6-1.
They rank No. 5 only because the NFC North is so crowded. Three division teams are in the top ten, and every game in that division swings this ranking.
