The Vikings have one of the more talented offenses in the NFL with quarterback Kirk Cousins, running back Dalvin Cook, and wide receivers Aadm Thielen and Stefon Diggs.
But what makes Minnesota’s offense tick?
Bucky Brooks over at NFL.com picked the offensive engines for each NFL team, and Thielen and Diggs were his picks for the Vikings.
Here’s what he wrote:
The Vikings’ 1-2 punch at wide receiver is the best pass-caching combination in football. Thielen and Diggs are polished route runners with electric playmaking skills and strong hands. These two are capable of elevating any QB1, including Kirk Cousins, with their individual and collective abilities as catch-and-run threats on the perimeter.
Brooks is probably right. It has to do with the talent level of those two players, but also the drop off after them.
A lot of their success will also come from how improved the offensive line is, led by rookie center Garrette Bradbury.
