  • Osborn's 68.8% completion rate marks him in the #70 percentile among receivers.
  • The Vikings are a 12.5 point underdog. This indicates an extreme passing game script.
  • Minnesota's offensive has kept pressure off the quarterback for 2.39 seconds on average this year (#5-most in the NFL), influencing his ability to scan for open receivers.
