That run started against the Commanders, who fielded the league's second-worst defense by QBR. It continued against the Cowboys (fourth-worst) and then these Giants (10th-worst). And it finished with the Packers, who would have been the league's second-worst defense by QBR if we just consider their snaps without Micah Parsons on the field.

STACKED’s take

Negative signalProjection

McCarthy's strong finish came against weak defenses with Vikings running 46% designed runs.

McCarthy's four-game strong finish came against a particularly friendly slate of defenses: Commanders (second-worst by QBR), Cowboys (fourth-worst), Giants (10th-worst), and Packers (second-worst without Micah Parsons); Vikings dialed up designed runs 46% of the time (fifth-most run-heavy), threw only 21 passes per game, and played at third-slowest pace, suggesting limited trust in McCarthy's ability to carry the offense.
