ESPN’s Benjamin Solak’s bold prediction for the Minnesota Vikings: The Vikings are the only defense I trust in this division. The Packers won't have edge rusher Micah Parsons for the first half of the season and lost defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley to the Dolphins. The Bears' defense was first in EPA on takeaways and 30th in EPA on all other plays -- it's unlikely they run that pure in turnover luck once again. The Lions had solid defensive metrics last season but have undergone enormous turnover in the secondary.

Solak noted the Green Bay Packers will be without edge rusher Micah Parsons for the first half of the season and lost defensive coordinator Jeff Hafley to the Dolphins. The Chicago Bears' defense, while first in EPA on takeaways, was 30th in EPA on all other plays, suggesting their turnover luck might not continue. The Detroit Lions, despite solid defensive metrics last season, have seen enormous turnover in their secondary with Amik Robertson leaving and Terrion Arnold released, plus safeties Brian Branch and Kerby Joseph are not expected to be healthy to start the season.

ESPN’s Benjamin Solak also praised Flores, calling him the best defensive coordinator in the NFL for his creative maximization of subpar talent. Solak acknowledged important departures like Jonathan Greenard and Harrison Smith but highlighted Flores' consistent ability to beat the other sideline with X's and O's. With improved talent at defensive tackle via the draft, specifically Caleb Banks and Domonique Orange, the Vikings' interior run defense might stiffen up, addressing a past Achilles' heel. 2025 Vikings stats leaders (Rushing): Jordan Mason: 159 CAR, 758 YDS, 6 TD Aaron Jones Sr.: 132 CAR, 548 YDS, 2 TD Zavier Scott: 32 CAR, 114 YDS, 0 TD Vikings FANS!
