It always stinks to lose games. It hurts even more when the Minnesota Vikings are fighting for a playoff spot and can feel the chance to win the NFC North slip away. And while that isn’t good at all, fans shouldn’t feel too bad about the Thursday Night Football loss to the Arizona Cardinals.
Arizona is one of the NFL’s elite teams. They currently have an 11-2 record and are the highest scoring squad in the NFL. Minnesota is depleted by injuries with their top 3 defensive players shelved for the game and several rookies were forced into starting gigs.
