It's Week 6 of the 2024 season and the Minnesota Vikings — not the Kansas City Chiefs — are the best team in the NFL. Here's why.
Are the Minnesota Vikings the best team in the NFL right now? Headed into their Week 6 bye at a perfect 5-0, they have an incredible case. Quarterback Sam Darnold, in the year 2024, is currently sixth in odds to win MVP, according to DraftKings Sportsbook. He has the second-most touchdown passes behind only Joe Burrow, ranks third in air yards per completion and ranks in the top 10 in both success rate and quarterback rating, according to Next Gen Stats.
Now in the second year under Flores, Vikings players are more equipped to run his scheme to perfection. It's a system that gives players a lot of autonomy on the field. Flores himself told me ahead of the 2023 season that ideally, players are making checks and certain calls themselves because they're the only ones who are on the field. Flores doesn't have the same vantage point they do. It's his job to equip them with solutions to the problems they're facing.
