Published Thu, 21 Nov 2024 22:55:14 GMT

If the Minnesota Vikings ran the ball the entire game against Denver, the outcome might’ve been different.The Vikings, who had one of the worst rushing attacks in the league, ran the ball all over Denver’s defense, totaling a season-high 175 yards on the ground. Starting running back Alexander Mattison had 81 yards, while Ty Chandler had 73 yards despite rushing for a combined 87 in 10 games prior to Week 11.Broncos defensive coordinator Vance Joseph has coached his tail off in recent weeks.
