Broncos linebacker Von Miller recorded five tackles, two forced fumbles and 2.5 sacks in the contest to take home Super Bowl MVP honors.
As Viking Update’s John Holler reminded, Minnesota has a dynamic defense as well, and while the Vikings didn’t get to the Super Bowl this year, their 11-5 record and NFC North division title reflected their ability to hold opponents’ scoring at bay.
The Vikings success in 2015 was a testament to what an improved defense can do for a team in the modern era. The Vikings offense was centered [on] a running game that was augmented by passing, not the other way around.
