Can the Vikings actually win the Super Bowl with this offense? You're telling me there's a chance

Minnesota has one of the NFL’s worst offenses and a defense playing at a historically dominant level — the 2015 Broncos provide a blueprint, but there are reasons to be skeptical
Minnesota has already positioned itself for the playoffs, but winning the Super Bowl with one of the NFL The Minnesota Vikings are 6-0, which is remarkable for one very obvious reason: their offense, by any objective measure, is anemic. They've scored all of 10 touchdowns this season. Their kicker, Will Reichard, has 63 points. Everybody else on the roster? Sixty-two. Sunday against the Colts offered more of the same. Kyler Murray threw for 150 yards, the offense scored a lone touchdown, and Minnesota won anyway, 16-10. Indianapolis quarterback Daniel Jones managed 108 passing yards, threw an interception and was sacked four times. The Vikings have now won 11 straight games dating to last season, despite scoring just 21 touchdowns during that stretch, the fewest in an 11-game winning streak in NFL history.
At this point, there's no debating whether Brian Flores is an elite defensive coordinator. But here's a question worth considering: Is he so good that his defense can drag this offense all the way to a Super Bowl? I know, this sounds ridiculous – even for the terminally online, where hyperbole, hype and mock outrage are the fuel that keeps the internet running. But this is not that. Just ask the 2015 Denver Broncos. Eleven years ago, Denver started 6-0 with a 39-year-old Peyton Manning who looked nothing
