Minnesota Vikings Defense

✦ Blitz AI

The Minnesota Vikings Defense rates as the most elite unit at the position, earning a perfect 100 rating based on five games of 2026 data. The rating climbed 3.2 points from the previous week, driven by exceptional performance forcing turnovers and limiting efficiency: the defense sits in the 97th percentile in takeaway rate and 96th percentile in expected points allowed per play. The current season carries 40 percent weight in the overall rating, blended with the Vikings' best healthy 2024 performance of 96.8 to smooth out short-sample noise. Yards allowed per game is the one softer spot, ranking only at the 69th percentile, but that weakness has not offset the strength in turnovers and opponent efficiency.
