The Minnesota Vikings' offense has been lackluster in seven of eight quarters so far this season. A number of issues have played into that, starting with a simple lack of plays (fewer than 50 in both games) driven by having the fourth-worst third-down efficiency in the league through two games.
Going into the season, it seemed J.J. McCarthy's perceived strengths as a passer lined up well for tight end T.J. Hockenson, but through two games, that has not come close to happening, as the tight end has just four catches for 27 yards on seven targets.
