This is the rare story about the Vikings and grass that will contain no Percy Harvin jokes.
The Vikings are lousy when they play football on real grass. You may think that is irrelevant, or obvious, or par for the course. But it’s not any of those things.
This season, the Vikings are 9-1 on turf and 0-3 on grass. That is not unusual. Since they moved from Met Stadium into the Metrodome in 1982, they have been stunningly bad when playing on grass fields.
On Sunday, the Vikings will play their last regular-season road game of 2019 on grass, against the Los Angeles Chargers.
