The Minnesota Vikings can pin their 23-20 loss to Denver on three worrisome angles and can credit three positives for keeping them in the game.
In a 23-20 loss to the Denver Broncos, the Minnesota Vikings went up against an undefeated team and kept them undefeated.
It didn’t have to be that way. There were plenty of plays the Vikings missed in a could-have, would-have type of game. The Vikings could have put themselves on the national map with an upset win over the Broncos if they would have eliminated mistakes. Three were particularly painful for the Purple, each of them accounting for the difference on the scoreboard.
