Minnesota can win in a variety of ways

A big problem with the Vikings last season was their inability to adjust mid-game if things weren’t going as planned. If Minnesota fell behind by more than a touchdown in a matchup last year, a loss seemed pretty much inevitable as the team was not built to come from behind.

This season is a much different story for the Vikings and at times, they really haven’t had much of a choice other than to make adjustments if they were going to have a shot at coming away with a win.

So far this year, Minnesota has shown that they can get a victory in a back-and-forth shootout (Week 7 vs. the Lions), they can grind out a win by leaning on their rushing attack and their defense (Week 8 vs. the Redskins), they can depend on their kicker to put points on the board if they can’t come away with touchdowns in the red zone, and they can put the offense on the shoulders of the passing attack to help them erase a large deficit (Week 11 vs. the Broncos).

Minnesota has proven multiple times this year that their strategy to getting victories is no longer so cut-and-dry. This trait of the Vikings this season is going to help them in a big way when they have to take on opponents who are talented enough to take away some of their top offensive weapons.
