Vikings final offensive PFF grades for 2023 season

With the first weekend of the 2023 NFL playoffs nearly complete, we are looking back on the season that was for the Minnesota Vikings.

Despite a 7-10 record, the Vikings played well during the 2023 season. The offense finished a respectable 18th in EPA/play considering the backup quarterbacks that the Vikings had to play over the course of the last nine games.

Wide receivers Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison along with tight end T.J. Hockenson all had excellent seasons and paired with offensive tackles Christian Darrisaw and Brian O’Neill, the Vikings are in a good place moving forward.

For the final time in the 2023 season, we bring you the offensive grades from Pro Football Focus, this time the cumulative grades from the season.
