Minnesota Vikings 2015 Season Review: Offense

Overall Impressions

As a unit, the Vikings were not graded particularly well by Pro Football Focus. While I would’ve hoped that Peterson would have been graded higher, I can’t deny that his pass blocking was atrocious so it makes sense that his grade is what it is. It’s ironic that two of the top three graded players on the offense are on the offensive line, the team’s biggest liability throughout the season. However, it evens out as the two starting offensive tackles are the lowest ranked players on the offense.

Here is a list of the Vikings’ offensive players, ranked by their player grades (with their cap hit according to www.overthecap.com):
