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.
After Sunday's win against the Bears, the team has now won four games in a row. 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 Chicago Bears.
