We all know about the strengths of the Vikings, but where would you say each of the division rivals have their strengths?

In Chicago, it’s the defense. The Vikings registered only one pass play of 20+ yards against the Bears last season and there’s no reason to think that defense will take a step back in 2019. In Detroit, you’re always worried about quarterback Matthew Stafford because he’s a gamer and you feel like they’re never out of a game with him on the field. But it might be the defense that is a strength in Detroit, too, with second-year head coach Matt Patricia starting to gain some traction both with his scheme but also with some personnel additions such as defensive end Trey Flowers. In Green Bay, it’s Aaron Rodgers, one of the best in the game and the type of player who elevates the play of those around him every week.
