They give you a lot of different looks and I think much like we talk about the illusion of complexity, where we like to give looks that are difficult on the defense but simple for us, I feel like that’s what they do.”</blockquote>The Vikings arguably have the best defense in the NFL right now. They will be bringing to the Packers game a unit that is allowing just 10.0 points per game. Minnesota’s run defense is elite and could pose lots of issues for the Packers, who have been so reliant on their ground attack of late.Minnesota is giving up just 71.3 rushing yards per contest. Against the pass, the Vikings seem to be just as dangerous, thanks in large part to their pass rush. Minnesota is leading the NFL with 16 sacks.<h2>For More Great Wisconsin Sports Content</h2>Follow me on Twitter at @theotherRobin19 and follow us @WiSportsHeroics for more great content.
