If the Vikings win the turnover battle, they tend to win the game. The reverse is also true.
Everything seems to come down to turnover margin for these 2023 Vikings.
In the five games this season when they’ve had either a neutral (twice) or positive (three times) turnover differential, they’re 5-0. In the six games where they’ve had a negative differential, they’re 1-5, with the lone victory coming over the Panthers on a day when the Vikings scored a key defensive touchdown.
All five of the Vikings’ losses — and five of their six wins — have come by one score. Incredibly, Sunday night’s one-point loss against the Broncos was the third instance this year where the Vikings have had a -3 turnover differential and still lost by just one score. It also happened against the Buccaneers and Eagles in the first two weeks of the season.
