What to Expect from the Vikings Defense This Season

As the Vikings work through training camp, I put together one article on expectations for the Vikings offense under the new regime, but now let’s take a look at expectations for the Vikings defense.

In many ways, given where the offense and defense finished last season, the fate of the Vikings 2022-23 season hinges on the performance of the defense. And with less continuity than the offense, there is a wider range of outcomes this season for the defense. There are also more questions as key defensive players are either new to the team, post-prime, coming back from injury, or young and unproven.
