What Each Team Does Well and Where It Has Problems
Arizona Cardinals
What Arizona Has Going for It
Jacoby Brissett gives Arizona a steady answer at quarterback, but a 78.4 QB Stability grade is not a matchup edge yet. Trey McBride and Marvin Harrison Jr. need to take more pressure off him.
What Arizona Needs to Fix
Arizona is asking Trey McBride to create too much the hard way. The 67.4 Explosiveness grade leaves the offense needing too many long drives to score.
Minnesota Vikings
What Minnesota Does Best
Kevin O'Connell has a clear idea of how Minnesota should play. The 82.2 Coaching Direction grade reflects a staff that consistently puts its best players in useful situations.
What Minnesota Needs to Fix
Minnesota still has to settle the quarterback job. Kyler Murray is at the center of that decision, and the 76.4 QB Stability grade keeps the offense from building around one clear plan.
PFM ANALYSIS
What the PFM Numbers Say
Minnesota also has more continuity on the sideline under Kevin O'Connell. Mike LaFleur is just getting started in Arizona. Justin Jefferson makes Minnesota harder to defend because the offense can score without a long drive. The 9.9-point Explosiveness gap shows how much harder Arizona has to work for points.
Jacoby Brissett keeps Arizona in this because the better quarterback grade belongs to the Cardinals. Even so, Minnesota has the better setup because its advantages on the sideline and in big-play ability point in the same direction.
