The Minnesota Vikings left Cincinnati emptyhanded despite leading the Bengals 17-3 as the fourth quarter began at Paycor Stadium on Saturday. The Vikings could and probably should have had an even healthier lead and also had chances to win the game.
They didn’t, largely because the Vikings are a team riddled with mistakes. The 27-24 loss to the Bengals in overtime was frustrating. Victory was in Minesota’s grasp, but they couldn’t finish it.
