Through the first five weeks of the 2018 season for the Minnesota Vikings, the offense has had its moments. Kirk Cousins has proved that he’s worth the fully guaranteed $84 million contract he signed last spring while Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs have blossomed into the top receiving duo in the NFL.
As a result, the Vikings currently hold the second-best passing offense (1,607 yards) in the league behind the Los Angeles Rams (1,686).
While it has made for an exciting (or nerve-racking depending on your makeup) brand of play, the Vikings have had one major issue; running the football.
