The NFL has reached its midway point of its 17-game schedule, with teams who still have a bye to come (such as our Minnesota Vikings) having played 9 games, and those who have already had their bye sitting at 8.
The Vikings are above .500 (5-4) and looking like playoff contenders after a rough 1-4 start. Four-game winning streaks are a wonderful thing. How did they turn things around? Although it’s a team game, it’s always instructive to take a look at a team’s overachievers (and underachievers).
That’s where NFL player grades come in handy. To do this effectively, one must review countless hours of film, grading every NFL player’s performance for every game in every key facet of the sport.
