Vikings offensive PFF grades: Best and worst from the loss to the Lions

The Vikings scored 27 points, but failed to beat the Lions in Week 13. Now, Minnesota has to figure out what went wrong.

Here are the best and worst PFF grades on the Vikings offense from the game:

Just a note: Players on this list needed to play at least 15 snaps in the game against the Lions in order to qualify.

• WR Justin Jefferson: 89.6

• QB Kirk Cousins: 79.1

• C Garrett Bradbury: 77.5

• TE Tyler Conklin: 74.5

• RB Alexander Mattison: 71.6

Analysis: Bradbury really needed a big game after initially losing his starting spot to Mason Cole this year. Mattison may have to start again in Week 14, so him thriving against the Lions was a welcomed sight.

Worst of offense:

• LT Oli Udoh: 51.6

• WR Dede Westbrook: 52.5

• FB C.J. Ham: 58.3

• WR K.J. Osborn: 61.1

• LG Ezra Cleveland: 63.5

Analysis: The Vikings needed Udoh to thrive in the absence of LT Christian Darrisaw. Instead, Udoh allowed three hurries and a sack. His position switch did not look perfect. WR Adam Thielen went down with an ankle injury in the first quarter. Osborn and Westbrook failed to fill the void.
