On efficiency alone, he’s undisputable,” ESPN’s Dan Graziano composed today. “The Vikings have actually permitted an overall of 30 points this season to the Giants, 49ers and Texans, and Flores is drawing raves for the method he disguises pressures and puzzles quarterbacks. It began last season in Minnesota, however the gamers are performing it at a much greater level in Year 2 of the system.”
The Vikings’ defense ranks No. 1 in the NFL per DVOA heading into Week 4. Minnesota takes a trip to Lambeau Field this weekend to deal with the Green Bay Packers.
