The Minnesota Vikings currently sit at 5-1 and have many things they need to work on. One of the things that they don't need to work on is committing penalties.

Throughout the course of the season, the Vikings have been a very composed team. They don't make mistakes and play a composed style of football.

Through six games, the Vikings rank second in the National Football League in committing penalties. They have only committed 25 on the season and lead the league in penalty yards accrued with only 185.

What is most impressive about this is the performance of the offensive line. The Vikings have one of the best offensive lines they have had in some time and it is showing in both PFF grades and penalties. Heading into their bye week, the Vikings have had four offensive holding penalties called against them but not one on the offensive line.

The amount of discipline the unit and team are playing with is a positive note they can continue to build on.
