Prior to the Cheats game, I lurked through a few other teams message boards and had found a stat that had included the Colts.
On a Vikings forum, they had mentioned:
Before Justin Jefferson strained his hamstring, the Vikings ranked third in rushing success rate, according to TruMedia. In the four weeks since, the Vikings rank 27th. Opposing defenses are applying more numbers in the box to stop the run, and Minnesota hasn’t had an answer. Only the Indianapolis Colts are averaging fewer yards per rush before contact than the Vikings in the past four weeks — which means the blocking is … well, close to nonexistent.
I have searched for this stat a little and found data for all NFL teams averaged for the entire season. If someone can find the info for the last 5 games (including the Cheats game), I would be interested to see it. I assume Minshew has really impacted this stat.
