Coming into the season, the Minnesota Vikings knew their offensive line had to be a lot better if the team wanted to have any success in 2021. In Week 1 the offensive line gave up 10 pressures and 3 sacks, as well as committing 13 penalties. This wasn’t a good sign for the Vikings and fans had the right to be frustrated.
In Week 1 the Arizona Cardinals had six sacks, with defensive lineman Chandler Jones responsible for five of those. Along with J.J. Watt, things didn’t appear to be getting any easier for the Vikings’ offensive line.
