Want a perfect example of why football is the ultimate team game? Look no further than the Vikings’ frustrating 26-23 loss to the Chiefs last weekend.
The Minnesota offense did their part with a disappointing showing against a defense that had been fairly mediocre for most of the season. Kirk Cousins, reigning NFC Player of the Month, struggled mightily with accuracy and decision making. The offensive line allowed lots of pressure up the middle and couldn’t clear space for the NFL’s leading rusher against a previously porous run defense.
Not to be outdone, the Vikings defense disappointed in their own way.
