While the stat is concerning three games aren´t a great sample size.
Maybe. But even if the Packers hold the Bills and Bucs to 18 points per game, they still averaged 28 ppg on the road. Not a good stat. Not when a team like the Vikings are holding all the same teams to 16 points per game.

I hear you on that stat but let me ask you this in comparing the Vikes to the Pack:

If the playoffs started today, what seed would the Vikes be?

So there.

Not comparing teams. Comparing defense's. Vikes defense is just better than the Packers defense. The only reason the Vikes are 6-7 right now is because the offense isn't scoring enough points.

And the Vikes would be 9th right now.

So many variables that either side can argue, but, in scoring defense, Vikes are 13th at 21.6/game, the Pack is 18th at 23.4

Well, you were comparing them. But as far as yard allowed, yes, they have fewer

That is not a lot of yards difference.

But the Vikes are not as far away from being a very good team as some would think.
