The Vikings' 27-20 win over the Chargers on Sunday ended a two-game losing streak, kept the team in the middle of the NFC wild-card race and seemingly reinvigorated an offense that had been fuming at its own futility.
Wide receiver Adam Thielen also hopes it set a precedent.
"It was a good showing of what the formula kind of has to be to win games," Thielen said Wednesday. "It's a little bit different league nowadays. You have to be able to be aggressive, and you have to be able to convert in aggressive situations to win games, because there's just so much firepower, offenses can score points.
