The Minnesota Vikings knew two things coming into Sunday’s 23-20 loss to Denver – the Broncos don’t lose often at home and their defense is capable of dominating games.
Both of those factors came into play Sunday, as Denver piled up seven sacks of Teddy Bridgewater and had a handful of other plays where he either had to throw away the ball or run for his life to avoid double-digit sacks.
For a team that had to play nearly flawless to come away with a win, the Vikings didn’t do it early and, as such, never had a lead at any point of the game.
