Defense dropping

Not surprisingly, after Monday's blowout loss, the Vikings defense fell five spots to No. 12. And although they gave up a modest 85 rushing yards, the Vikings are now No. 2 in run defense.
Most alarming is that after Monday's performance, the Vikings pass defense is 26th in the NFL, similar to recent years.
The offense also dropped five spots to No. 17, and the run offense went from 10th to 18th after gaining just 45 rushing yards.
If the Vikings can't beat up on the San Francisco 49ers defense, ranked 31st in the NFL, then they don't deserve to be a playoff team.
