The Vikings rush defense will be tested in Week 15 against the Chargers in Los Angeles.
The Chargers have the one-two punch at running back of Melvin Gordon and Austin Ekeler.
Gordon has ran for 523 yards and five touchdowns to go with 25 catches for 152 yards and a touchdown. Ekeler has ran for 481 yards and three touchdowns to go with 73 catches for 830 yards and eight touchdowns.
Minnesota’s defense will have to be on alert of course for the run, but also for Ekeler in the receiving game.
Even with that talent, the Chargers rank just 22nd in the league in total rushing yards. The Vikings defense, meanwhile, ranks 11th in yards allowed.
