‘Each has been worth every penny. In his two-plus seasons with Minnesota, Winfield has averaged 100 tackles per year and has nine interceptions (he had seven total with Buffalo). Last week against Chicago, he notched 10 tackles and returned an interception for a touchdown. Williams, a premier run-stuffer, led Vikings defensive linemen in tackles last year with 88, including nine for losses, and was mentioned for the Pro Bowl. This year, he has 13 tackles and two quarterback pressures. Surrounded by scores of other big names, the ex-Bills are part of a Vikings defense that ranks 12th in yards, 10th against the run, fifth in the red zone, seventh on third down, and 11th in points allowed.’
