Arizona Cardinals run over in Twin Cities as Minnesota Vikings roll 27-17

The Arizona Cardinals are 1-5 and have one of the worst if not the worst run defenses in the NFL.

When you combine that with a pop-gun offense, it is a recipe for disaster.

That was the story in the Twin Cities as the Arizona Cardinals fell to the Minnesota Vikings 27-17.

Despite creating two turnovers on defense, including a Chandler Jones strip sack that resulted in a Budda Baker scoop and score, the Cardinals defense was just beat down by a putrid Vikings rushing attack.

The Vikings, who came in as the 31st ranked run team in attempts and yards, as well as the 32nd ranked team in rushing touchdowns, the Vikings had zero in their first five games, just physically dominated the Arizona Cardinals at the line of scrimmage,

The Vikings ran for 163 yards on 29 carries, rushing for 5.
