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

158.3 — quarterback Teddy Bridgewater's passer rating when not pressured Sunday.

Bridgewater was pressured on 15 of his 32 dropbacks Sunday, according to Pro Football Focus. But when the Vikings were able to give him time in the pocket, he picked apart the Jets. Bridgewater completed 14 of his 16 attempts when he wasn't pressured for 225 yards and two touchdowns. That gave him a perfect passer rating on those plays. Of course, his numbers were inflated by the quick-hitting, game-winning screen play to wide receiver Jarius Wright in overtime, but those numbers provide more proof — if you need such a thing — about the importance of pass protection.

eight — the most yards running back Matt Asiata has gained on a run since Week 7.

This season, 45 running backs have gotten at least 70 carries. But Asiata is the only one of the group who has not had a run of 15-plus yards. He hasn't run for a gain of more than 10 yards since the Week 7 loss to the Bills. Asiata has averaged just 2.75 yards per carry since Jerick McKinnon took over the starting job in Week 6, but the Vikings have still given him 33 carries the past two weeks. Head coach Mike Zimmer said yesterday he would like to see more of Ben Tate and Joe Banyard, and that makes sense, as Asiata's lack of explosiveness may be holding the offense back.

349 — yards in coverage allowed by cornerback Josh Robinson since the bye week.

Robinson played pretty well for the Vikings before the bye week, but that rough game against the Bears in Week 11 seems to have put his season in a downward spiral. In that game, Robinson allowed 11 receptions for 139 yards and two touchdowns, according to Pro Football Focus. In the following three weeks, he has allowed 13 catches for 210 yards and two more touchdowns. That includes five receptions against the Jets for 94 yards and that long Percy Harvin touchdown. Since the Vikings' bye week, opposing quarterbacks have a 130.6 passer rating when targeting Robinson.

three– sacks for safety Harrison Smith, tied for the most among NFL defensive backs.

Smith had another sack Sunday, blitzing off the edge to bring down Jets quarterback Geno Smith in the first quarter. With three sacks on the season, Harrison Smith is tied for the NFL lead among defensive backs. And one more sack will tie him with Robert Griffith for the single-season franchise mark (Griffith had four sacks in 1999). Smith ranks fourth among NFL defensive backs with nine total quarterback pressures this season in just 30 snaps as a blitzer, according to PFF.

four — comeback victories for Bridgewater this season after Sunday's OT thriller.

While Sunday's comeback win wasn't as impressive as his others — the so-called comeback came in the first quarter, after the Vikings fell behind, 9-7 — it was Bridgewater's fourth of 2014, putting him in with some pretty impressive company. Bridgewater is now tied for the single-season team record with four, even with Daunte Culpepper (twice), Tommy Kramer (twice), Brad Johnson (twice), Warren Moon and Jeff George. The rookie has three weeks to claim the record for himself.
