Vikings offensive PFF grades in Week 16 loss vs. Lions

The Minnesota Vikings are now on the outside looking in for a playoff spot heading into week 17 after losing a 30-24 heartbreaker to the Detroit Lions.

Things aren’t always as they seem, especially with the performance of quarterback Nick Mullens. He did throw for four interceptions, but also threw for 400 yard, becoming the second player in team history to ever accomplish that feat.

The grades from Pro Football Focus are out from Sunday’s game and they reflect much better on the offense than you might think.
