Each week, beat guy Matt Vensel will highlight five Vikings stats that really mean something.

141.4 — Bears quarterback Jay Cutler's passer rating when targeting Josh Robinson.

The Vikings understandably have concerns about Pro Football Focus, but even they would concede that one didn't need the All-22 eye in the sky to see that Robinson struggled against the Bears. The Vikings often asked him to cover big Bears wide-outs Alshon Jeffery and Brandon Marshall on the outside, and they use their size advantage to box him out for a bunch of catches. According to PFF, the cornerback was targeted in coverage 15 times and allowed 11 completions for 139 yards and two touchdowns. That's not including the 44-yard touchdown by Marshall, which was pinned on safety Robert Blanton for allowing Marshall to get behind him, too. It was a rough day for Robinson for sure, but let's not forget that he had been pretty reliable this season up until Sunday.

19 — missed tackles for rookie outside linebacker Anthony Barr through 10 games.

One of the many things that frustrated head coach Mike Zimmer in the Bears loss was poor tackling on defense. The Vikings missed 13 tackles, according to Pro Football Focus, and Barr whiffed on a team-high five of them, including two on the opening series. Barr has been very good in his rookie season, but his biggest issue has been the missed tackles. He has whiffed on 19 of them, more than twice as many as the next Vikings defender. It is also the most missed among all NFL linebackers.

24.4 — Cordarrelle Patterson's average yard total on kickoff returns in 2014.

With just 28 catches for 332 yards and one touchdown, Patterson has not taken that leap forward as a receiver this season. He is also making much less of an impact as a kickoff returner than he did during his All-Pro rookie season. Patterson led the NFL in 2013 with a ridiculous 32.4-yard average while also scoring two touchdowns. In 2014, he ranks 10th among 18 qualifying returners with an average of 24.4. He has not taken one back to the house, either. His longest return was 49 yards.

seven — league-low number of passing touchdowns for the Vikings this season.

The Vikings have a league-low seven passing touchdowns this season, and three of those came in Matt Cassel's three starts. Rookie Teddy Bridgewater has tossed just four since replacing Cassel as the starter in Week 3. As result, the team leader in receiving touchdowns is wide receiver Greg Jennings with two. That's as many as Texans defensive end J.J. Watt has, by the way. The Packers, meanwhile, have four times as many touchdown passes with Aaron Rodgers throwing 28 so far.

120.1 — Rodgers' passer rating this season, far and away the league's highest.

Speaking as Rodgers, he has been insanely efficient this season, completing 66.8 percent of his passes with 28 touchdowns and just three interceptions. He is averaging 8.8 yards per attempt. His passer rating of 120.1 leads the league and is nearly 13 points higher than the next quarterback on the list, Ben Roethlisberger of the Steelers. Even more insane is that this isn't even the best statistical season of his career. Rodgers had a 122.5 passer rating in his MVP season of 2011.
