Lowering the Barr

Anthony Barr's numbers aren't as impressive as they were a year ago. But the Vikings insist he's playing just as well. Through eight games in 2015, Barr compiled 33 tackles, 1½ sacks, three pass deflections and one interception. This season, he has 32 tackles, one fumble recovery, one forced fumble and one pass deflected.
