As it stands, Minnesota will head to Tampa Bay to play the Buccaneers in a Week 14 matchup.
If Tom Brady adjusts to the Buccaneers offense in Tampa Bay, then wide receivers like Mike Evans and Chris Godwin could take apart a relatively young Vikings cornerback corps.
Pro Football Focus thinks that this is Minnesota’s hardest matchup of the season, and based on how the teams are stylistically, it makes sense.
The Buccaneers not only have an offense with the potential to be one of the best in the league, they also have a defense that is solid in getting pressure on the quarterback.
The 49ers, Packers and other teams gave the Vikings fits this past season when they were able to consistently put pressure on Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins.
Tampa Bay returns Shaquil Barrett, who had 19.5 sacks in 2019. The team also has Jason Pierre-Paul. He tallied 8.5 sacks. If those two can bring pressure and Brady finds his receivers open, it could spell trouble for the Vikings.
