It's been proven recently in this league that you can be an elite team with a weak defense if you have a dynamic passing attack.
As for the Vikings, I don't think their schedule can be ignored. The Jaguars and Titans are two of the worst teams in the league and the Colts aren't great either. The 49ers win is massive, and the Lions win is impressive as well, even if they are dysfunctional. Still though, you can't just look at a team's record in a vacuum, especially this early in the season.
