The key to Ed Donatell’s defense is getting pressure with 3-4 pass rushers and playing coverage on the back end. In week one, they did just that. Per PFF, the Vikings had four sacks and 18 pressures on the Packers quarterbacks. Danielle Hunter and Za’Darius Smith were each credited with one sack and two pressures. The entire team got in on the action with no player having more than three pressures on the day. The key to this unit being it’s best self is to continue getting pressure from all angles.
