Vikings bleeding TD passes

Should break or tie all-time record

Passing and offensive records are falling. Peyton Manning just broke the all-time record with his 51st TD pass this season. Quarterbacks are putting up yards and touchdowns like never before. This means, of course, that defenses are also ALLOWING more production than in the past.

The Vikings are in that group getting clobbered.

After allowing 4 TD passes today to Andy Dalton, they're now up to 36 for the season. If they allow 2 TDs in their final game (against Detroit), they'll become the first team to allow 38 in a season.
