After a 7-10 season, the Minnesota Vikings are dealing with their third season in the last four where they missed the playoffs. All hope is not lost for the purple and gold as injuries were the defining factor this season.
The Vikings had four quarterbacks start games for them in 2023 and none of them ended up over 0.500 as a starter. They also had mixed results in terms of success in running the offense.
The defense was similar to the offense in that they saw different levels of success but were more consistent than the offense. They finished 13th in scoring defense and were the catalyst behind multiple Vikings wins.
On an individual level, there were multiple good performances and they are highlighted by the stad leaders in many categories.
