What happened: Minnesota has not lost since Nov. 30, 2025. In that span, the defense ranks first in EPA per play, success rate, points per drive and total defensive EPA.
Why it matters: Per-play and per-drive efficiency explains how the streak survived different game scripts. That profile carries weight in the 2026 regular season, where points-per-drive margin shapes field position and finishes.
By the numbers: Unbeaten since Nov. 30, 2025. 1st in EPA/play, 1st in success rate, 1st in points/drive, 1st in total defensive EPA.
What to watch: Watch whether Minnesota sustains that pressure and per-drive stinginess through the next stretch of the 2026 schedule.
