Judkins “made, like, four guys miss on one play,” said Greenard, referencing a run against the Ravens. “It just shows you his contact balance. … He’s going to be their hard-nosed guy that gets grimy yards, so we have to make sure we get multiple hats on him, because obviously he can be explosive.”
The inconsistency of the Vikings’ run defense — playing well vs. the Bears’ DeAndre Swift, then giving up 143 rushing yards to the Falcons’ Bijan Robinson, then shutting down the Bengals’ Chase Brown before last week’s game by Gainwell — has not sat well with Flores.
“One week on, one week off,” Flores said. “That’s not really what we’re about. We want to be consistent in all areas. That’s really the message.”
