Five interceptions while being sacked 10 times.<\/p>\n Besides its obvious offensive line woes, defensively the Vikings are one of the league’s worst,\u00a0 allowing a 30th\u00a0ranked 32 points per game and a 29th\u00a0ranked 429.7 yards with six interceptions, four sacks and three fumble recoveries.<\/p>\n Similarly, the Steelers lack of free agent signing and quality draft picks are starting to catch up with them, as injuries begin to widdle away at the team’s shallow depth.
