Best defensive PFF Grades from the Minnesota Vikings 2025 season

[ASFN Admin]

The NFL season will sometimes show us what we want to see from players; other times, we may see something bad when it isn't there. For fans and media, it's essential to have a way to verify and balance information to prevent favoritism or bias from being portrayed in a negative light.

Thanks to PFF, we will always have an extra set of eyes to examine the football game.

The Vikings' season has come to a close following Week 18, and they have been ruled out of making the playoffs. So, compared to our usual game breakdown with PFF numbers, we are going to digest the best defensive numbers from each position group following the season as a whole.

Here is how they shook out after 18 weeks of the NFL season.
