Sunday’s overtime loss to the Bengals was disappointing – to say the least. 99% of Vikings fans were expecting a win, and by a considerable margin. However, the team shot themselves in the foot too many times. It’s hard to win when you commit 10 penalties in the first half alone. We already had an extensive coverage of the game here on Purple PTSD and Vikings Territory, so the focus will be on Dalvin Tomlinson’s and Patrick Peterson’s debut.
The duo formed our most notable free-agency additions back in March, and Sunday’s game was Peterson’s first in purple and gold (Tomlinson played two preseason games).
