Vikings 4-0 Start

Minnesota Vikings Start Season 4-0 Despite Historic Lack of Offensive Touchdowns

The Minnesota Vikings' victory over the Miami Dolphins highlights the absurdity of their 4-0 start to the season. The team's victory over Miami was largely attributed to kicker Will Reichard, who made all five field goals and has a 31-straight streak, the longest of any active NFL kicker. The Vikings are one of only three remaining undefeated teams after four games, alongside the San Francisco 49ers and Kansas City Chiefs. Despite this, the team's six total offensive touchdowns are tied for the fewest scored by any team during a 4-Go start this century, matching both the 2003 Carolina Panthers and 2016 Vikings. The defense ranks among the best defenses since the turn of the century, according to many respected advanced metrics. The only time the Vikings had more penalties in a game was when Aaron Jones converted a third-down conversion.
