The Vikings got absolutely pilfered on defense in FA last year (lost 2 starting DL and all 3 of their top CBs) and then got brutalized by injuries almost exclusively on defense. They had 11 guys on IR to finish 2020 and 9 of the 11 were on defense including Danielle Hunter and Anthony Barr.
Also even if you don't look at the IR exclusively...
All seven #Vikings inactives today are injured players; no healthy scratches for them today. Closest thing I can remember to that is the Thursday game in Arizona in 2015, when (if memory serves) they had more injured players than inactive spots.

It's crazy. I am pretty sure the Vikings were cursed last year. Threw a black cat under a ladder and into a mirror or something.
Our defense was as well, but we don't tend to give the same pass to Lou on the injury front and he performed better. I stand by the comment, their defense is aging out and I don't think their corners are very good at all.
