Anytime the Minnesota Vikings are missing some of their most talented players due to injury, getting wins is likely going to be much tougher.
For a handful of weeks in 2019, the Vikings had to deal with the absence of receiver Adam Thielen from the offense thanks to him dealing with a lingering hamstring injury. Despite Thielen missing time, however, Minnesota was able to still be productive on the offensive side of the ball and increase their win total for the season.
When the Vikings had to compete without Dalvin Cook on the field this year, however, success was much harder to come by.
