Coming off a week 1 preseason win against the Cincinnati Bengals, the Minnesota Vikings look to keep the winning going against a team they have struggled to defeat in recent head-to-head meetings.

The Seattle Seahawks have scored 4 consecutive regular season or postseason victories over the Vikings, but Minnesota hoped to turn that around with a win over the team who knocked them out of the Wild Card round of the NFL playoffs last year.

While this was a preseason match, the outcome was still important to the Minnesota Vikings. Not only was a win essential, but seeing improvement from the players as well as execution in all phases of the game was of paramount importance.

The Minnesota Vikings may have won the game 18-11, but there were some good things, bad things, and interesting things that happened during the game. Let’s start things off by talking about the good things!
