What happened: The Minnesota Vikings have recorded at least one sack in 34 consecutive games, extending the longest active streak in the NFL. The sustained pass rush has powered a defense coordinated by Brian Flores throughout Minnesota's undefeated start to the 2026 season.

Why it matters: Minnesota sits at 6-0 and holds the No. 1 seed in the NFC after a 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts on Oct. 25. Consistent pressure from Flores' defensive front has consistently limited opponent scoring and kept Minnesota in control of the conference race.

By the numbers: 34: Consecutive games with at least one sack, the longest active streak in the NFL. 6-0: Minnesota's regular-season record, holding the top seed in the NFC. 10: Points allowed by the defense in its Oct. 25 win over Indianapolis.

What to watch: Minnesota looks to preserve both its unbeaten record and the multi-season sack streak as the NFL trade deadline approaches on Nov. 10.
