The Vikings have averaged 6 or more yards per play just four times in 58 full seasons.
Six games into Season 59: 6.3.
Good for third place in the NFL. And plenty explosive enough for newbie offensive coordinator Kevin Stefanski to stay in everyone’s good graces until at least 12:01 p.m. on Sunday.
The Vikings spent their first 37 seasons (1961-97) averaging fewer than 6 yards per play. Even when Joe Kapp and his “40 for 60” band of brothers led the league in scoring with 379 points in 1969, the Vikings still averaged only 4.
