A year ago, the Vikings' 14 turnovers were the third fewest in the NFL. Case Keenum threw only seven interceptions, Teddy Bridgewater threw one and the team lost a total of six fumbles.

In 2016, the Vikings' 16 turnovers were the seventh fewest in the league, with just five coming on Sam Bradford interceptions.
