The Minnesota Vikings may have picked up the win against the Bills but had a somewhat disappointing performance for a team with high expectations.

The Minnesota Vikings saw their first game action of the season last night against the Buffalo Bills. The Vikings got in the win column by the score of 17-10. The Vikings win though wasn’t an impressive one but more of a disappointing game for the fans.

The team as a whole played a dull game. Throughout the game the Vikings made mistakes and missed some chances for big plays. For the most part it was an average performance at best of this team in Week 1 of the preseason.

However, the Vikings did have a few rookies standout in the game (Stacy Coley and Rodney Adams). Also, the Vikings played a better second half than first half after a talk from an upset head coach Mike Zimmer.

But let’s dive into the game grades of the Vikings win last night against the Bills. This article will look at the overall team grade, offense grade, defense grade and special teams grade.
