The Minnesota Vikings are 3-2 while enjoying their Bye Week as they get to watch the other teams in their division and around the league take each other out.
The team has had some ups and downs, but they are enjoying some players who have stepped up and stood out as they look to make an impact. They will need some more players to step up, and the season gets back on track after the Bye Week, but for now, we wanted to take a look at who has performed well to start the year.
While stats do not tell the whole story, they do help paint some of the picture. We have the defensive stat leaders in all of the key categories for the Vikings to show you who has played their best the first five weeks.
