"You spend time going through the film, and you come up with a plan for how you want to play the next season. I think every team does that. Well actually, I can't speak for every team. That's how we've done it, how I've done it in the past, and every year is different. And I think you got to reinvent yourself every year. If you do the same thing every year in this league, the coaches are so good and the players are so good that they'll catch up to you. Especially if they know exactly what you're going to be."

— Vikings Defensive Coordinator Brian Flores

The 2023 Vikings improved over the 2022 team by 15 spots in NFL rankings of five different defensive stats (rushing yards allowed/play, yards allowed/play, yards allowed/game, passing yards allowed/play and points against/game).
