Notes: The Vikings had an average 2-2 preseason record and an average PossessionPoints preseason also. Their best performance was week 4 against the Cowboys. Ordinarily, we would be encouraged by that finish, but we have been discounting the 4th preseason game because very few of the starters play significant time.
