The mojo that the Minnesota Vikings had in 2022 is nothing more than a distant memory now.
After going 11-0 in one-score games in 2022, the 2023 Vikings have dropped three such games to begin the 2023 season.

It appeared that the Vikings were on the verge of scoring their own go-ahead touchdown on the following drive.
