Vikings force 3 turnovers

The Vikings defense has been one of the main bright spots for the team this year. Although they have seemed beatable over the last few weeks, they are still a feared unit. During the early stages of the season, Vikings’ fans got used to several turnovers per game. They will resume that style of play in week 11.

For one, the Cardinals are a team that turns the ball over often. So far in the 2016 NFL season, Arizona has thrown 10 interceptions and 6 fumbles lost. They average 1.8 turnovers per game.

Minnesota has intercepted the ball 10 times and forced 8 fumbles so far this year. We have been averaging 2 turnovers forced per game.

With an offense that produces turnovers and a defense that forces them, it is expected that the Vikings will force several turnovers on Sunday. If they can turn those turnovers into points, it would be a huge factor in a possible win over the Cardinals.
