The Hawks continue to improve their team strength, but Minnesota is improving even more rapidly, increasing the distance between them and the Hawks. The points for and against are better for the Hawks, but the Vikings advantage in YPC (5.5 vs 3.6) and YPC against (3.0 vs. 4.0) is the difference. Who knows how much a good run defense matters against the Hawks anyway? We can run for 70 total rushing yards against anyone.
