We scored 24 or more in each game (I know the d could be credited with a td in each game but unless you want to start defending the defense lets table that part)
conversely Minnesota has reached 30 only once and there opponents d's ranks aren't much different:
Jac 26th
Ind. 15th
SF. 1st
Det. 19th(tied with denver)
Tenn. 32nd (worst in the nfl and incidentally the only team Minnesota scored 30 against)

As for the irony of the D, I dont really see it as ironic. Shanahan historically has weak d's, we have lost several key players, and we knew our secondary was a weakness going into the season. Shanahan and Haslett should be accountable for that part at seasons end.
