Not always flashy, Vikings style is effective

The Minnesota Vikings have their physical, grinding formula for winning. Even if it doesn’t yield blowouts, the wins are what matter to them.

The Minnesota Vikings are kicking things old-school this season and are finding a lot of success in doing just that. In a day and age where offenses rely on the quarterback position and attacking opponents through the air, the Vikings are sticking to the tried-and-true approach of controlling the clock, wearing out teams on the ground and smothering opponents on defense.

It isn’t always the prettiest way to win games, but at 8-3 overall the Vikings are showing that it can still be a very effective way to win games.
