The NFL season sometimes shows us what we want to see from the players; In other cases, we may see something bad even though it isn't there. There needs to be a way for fans and media to check and balance things to avoid favoritism or bias in a negative light.
Thanks to PFF, we always have extra eyes examining the football game.
The team's back-to-back wins, the most recent against the Jags, showed it can overcome bad problems like Sam Darnold's turnovers. This could prove more effective as the season progresses. This time, more than most this year, the PFF grades will be very interesting.
Here are the best and worst PFF grades for the Vikings' win over the Jacksonville Jaguars.
