The crowd reaction

Let’s be honest, things aren’t easy right now for fans of the Minnesota Vikings. Hopes are still very high for this team this year, but now the challenge will be even bigger during the 2016 NFL season.

But the crowd cannot be defeated already. They must be as loud and rowdy as they were last week against the San Diego Chargers. They must continue to let this team know they believe in them.

If the fans can do this, it can send a powerful message to the players, coaches and executives that this is a loyal and optimistic fan base that will stick by the team no matter what.

Yes, it will be hard to cheer considering how crushing it is to lose a player like Teddy Bridgewater, who is so well liked by the fan base and respected by everyone…but this is far from the end of the season, and there is enough talent to still win many games this year.
