This Is the Vikings Biggest Problem in 2020
3 3 minutes read
Finger-pointing at the 2020 Minnesota Vikings veers in the direction of Kirk Cousins, playcalling, “running the ball too much,” or field-goal kicking. Cousins is Pro Football Focus’ ninth-highest graded quarterback in 2020. So, that grievance is largely bogus. On playcalling and frequency of the run, Minnesota ranks sixth in the business in yards gained per game and fifth in redzone efficiency. That talking point, too, is misguided. As for field-goal kicking, it is valid criticism. The Vikings have converted 70% of field goals – third-worst in the NFL. A decision on the fate of Dan Bailey this offseason is imminent and will reverberate through the team’s special teams plans. It is also unlikely that special teams coordinator, Marwan Maalouf, will be part of the team’s 2021 plans.
