Outside of Minnesota, it’s likely few football fans know the names of the players who have led the Vikings to a 4-0 start. Despite being one of only three unbeaten teams left, they’ve largely stayed under the radar even as they keep winning big game after big game.

That won’t be the case for much longer. If the Vikings keep playing like this, every fan will know their names.

This is a no-frills team that is just very, very efficient. They just go out there and get the job done in every phase of the game. They do things the right way, and the end result is pretty darn good.

The NFL is a topsy-turvy league. A Super Bowl team from a year ago, Carolina is 1-3. Tom Brady hasn’t stepped on the field yet but New England is 3-1. Arizona was supposed to be great, and they’re 1-3. Denver lost Peyton Manning and replaced him with an unknown 7th-rounder, Trevor Siemian, then lost him and put in a rookie from Memphis, Paxton Lynch. They’re 4-0.

It’s flux all over.

But with all the ups and downs, the comings and goings, the Vikings have been solid in every way. And when you’re solid everywhere, you’re great.

The defense is simply astounding. After shutting down Aaron Rodgers and Cam Newton, they stopped two-time Super Bowl MVP Eli Manning and held superstar receiver Odell Beckham Jr. to just 23 yards, the lowest total of his career, in a 24-10 victory at U.S. Bank Stadium.

There’s great talent all over the defense. Talent like Everson Griffen, Linval Joseph, and Danielle Hunter on the line. Like Anthony Barr and Eric Kendricks at linebacker, like Harrison Smith, Xavier Rhodes and Terence Newman — at age 38! — in the secondary.

You don’t put together performances like this with smoke and mirrors. It takes talent. It takes scheme, too, but without talent, scheme is not enough. They’re under the radar, but not for long.

On offense, Sam Bradford might not wow you, and he’s not the type of running quarterback who makes the highlight reels, but he’s efficient — an excellent kind of efficient.

The receiving corps is led by an emerging superstar in Stefon Diggs, but they get contributions from everyone. In Monday night’s victory over the Giants, Bradford completed 26 passes to nine different receivers, from tight end to running back.

And those running backs. Look, Adrian Peterson is an icon. I hate it for him that he’s injured, but the Vikings are just fine with Jerick McKinnon and Matt Asiata. They’re talented runners, and they can catch the ball and pick up blitzes better. Peterson is already a legend, but in the totality of this current Vikings offense, his replacements have embodied the “next man up” mentality.

There will be down times. This team will not be perfect for the entire season. But everything about this team is rock solid. I don’t think there’s any other team in the league that could have lost their franchise quarterback a week before the season, with no in-house plan to replace him, and then lose a franchise icon like Adrian Peterson, and not missed a beat.

Every team has questions at various places on their roster. Right now, the Vikings have a lot of answers.

The one spot that really concerns me right now is at kicker, my fellow Georgia Bulldog Blair Walsh. He has enormous ability, but he has picked up an alarming habit of missing extra points and make-able field goals. He’s missed two extra points in four games, plus three field goals — not to mention the 27-yard, would-be game winner in the playoffs against the Seahawks last year.

I’ve seen him go through struggles like this before. As senior at Georgia in 2011, Walsh was just 21 of 35 on field goals, including two misses that would have won or tied the Outback Bowl against Michigan State. The previous two years he was 40 for 45. He recovered to have some great years for the Vikings, but he needs to right the ship — soon.

The kicking game can make a big difference, such as winning and losing in the playoffs last year. The great kickers — Adam Vinatieri, Stephen Gostkowski — don’t miss make-able kicks, even under great pressure. You can’t afford to play championship football and question whether your kicker is going to miss a chip shot.

That’s a major concern, and on a Vikings team with the highest aspirations, it has to be solved.
