Murray 162.3 YPG (29th), 30th DVOA; Vikings offense ranks last in first downs per play

Despite being billed as the answer to the Vikings' deep ball problem, Murray has underperformed significantly. The Vikings offense ranks 30th in DVOA; Murray is throwing for 162.3 yards per game (29th), and the team ranks 25th in explosive plays. His average depth of target (ADOT) is 7.13 (30th), and his yards to sticks is -2.97 yards (37th among QBs with 50+ passes). Most drives fizzle quickly as the Vikings average 0.259 first downs per play (last in NFL), and they've had just 13 red zone trips (Lions have 27) with only four offensive touchdowns in the last four games combined.
