At a -5-point disadvantage, the Vikings are underdogs in this week's contest, suggesting more of a reliance on passing than their usual approach.The leading projections forecast the Vikings to be the 6th-least run-oriented offense on the slate this week with a 40.0% run rate, accounting for their underlying propensities and matchup dynamics.The 8th-fewest plays in the league have been run by the Vikings since the start of last season (just 56.4 per game on average).Ty Chandler has been worse at grinding out extra running yardage this year, totaling 1.60 yards-after-contact vs a 2.86 mark last year.
