The sack leader in the National Football League with 10.0 sacks, Hunter dominated opposing offenses in October. He recorded the third-most sacks in October with 5.0 and led the NFC with two forced fumbles. Hunter also notched 18 tackles with 5.0 tackles for loss.
Hunter was the catalyst of a Vikings defense that led the NFL in forced fumbles (7), third in yards per play (4.6) and yards per game (287).
After being a potential trade piece at the trade deadline, Hunter stayed with the Vikings and will be a really important piece moving forward.
