The Minnesota Vikings 2018 offense was a pass-heavy attack that ranked in the bottom half of the league. Will this unit be better or worse in 2019?

The offense was definitely a weakness for the Minnesota Vikings in 2018. The unit became one dimensional early in the season and it never really got out of that funk.

The Vikings’ offensive line was a porous group that struggled to protect its quarterback and open up holes in the running game. Minnesota’s offensive coordinator also called plays that weren’t great fits for the skill sets of the players who were out on the field and that ultimately led to his demise.

Despite the struggles that they had moving the football on offense, the Vikings still finished with a winning record at 8-7-1.

With some new additions to the coaching staff, will Minnesota’s offense be better in 2019? Let’s take a look at a few reasons the Vikings might be improved on the offensive side of the ball this season and some reasons they might not.
