One incredible stat emphasizes how dominant the Vikings have been this season

The Minnesota Vikings aren't your average 3-0 team. They have been great in every phase of the game and have beaten two of the best teams in the National Football League in the San Francisco 49ers and the Houston Texans.
Throughout the 180 minutes the Vikings have played football, they have done something pretty remarkable. They have trailed for a whopping three minutes and 26 seconds of game time. Yes, you read that correctly.
The Vikings haven't trailed since the first quarter of the season opener against the New York Giants. That lead was essentially given to them after C.J. Ham fumbled the ball on the third offensive play of the game for the Vikings. The lead obviously didn't last long as the Vikings drove down and Aaron Jones scored from three yards out.
That touchdown came at the 3:50 mark in the first quarter, meaning the Vikings have not trailed over the last 2:48:50 of game time and they did so against two teams who were among the favorites to make the Super Bowl.
The Vikings are for real and the metrics continue to point that out.
