Now, there were several reasons for this loss (Kirk Cousins throwing a three-yard pass on fourth and eight, for example), but one glaring weakness all game long was the defense. As has been the case all season, the Vikings pass defense failed when it mattered the most. After watching the Green Bay Packers rule the division for the past three years, this was supposed to be a statement year for Minnesota. Instead, they end their year with the same number…
