The Minnesota Vikings aren't just 4-0 on the season, they are a dominant 4-0. They have a +57 point differential on the season and already have two wins of 20+ points thanks to a stellar defense and the renaissance season from quarterback Sam Darnold.

The Vikings have done all that despite being the favorite only once, and that was a 1-point spread against the New York Giants in week one. It's an impressive start for a Vikings team that was only projected to win 6.5 games by the sportsbooks ahead of the season.

Vikings have led more than every team 

In those first four games, the Vikings have trailed the least of any team in the National Football League at just 3:26. They also lead the league in how long they have been ahead and are nearly an hour better than second place.


The Vikings have been so good that they have led for all but 27 minutes and 29 seconds of game time. It's also one of the main reasons why the Vikings being last in passing yards allowed doesn't matter.

The Vikings have been an excellent team so far this season and all of these stats that keep coming out strengthen their argument for them being the best football team in the NFL.
