Vikings defensive PFF grades from win vs. Falcons
The Minnesota Vikings won a game that will go down in team lore for the rest of time in beating the Atlanta Falcons by a score of 31-28.
The game is going to be referenced and dissected for the rest of time but no matter the criticism, the win and feelings in that moment when Josh Dobbs hit Brandon Powell for the game-winning touchdown can never be taken away.
The Pro Football Focus grades are out and the ones on defense don’t reflect how well they played as a unit.
