What were the positives and negatives from the Minnesota Vikings week 2 preseason game against the Seattle Seahawks on August 18, 2017?

Week 1 of the preseason was decent for the Minnesota Vikings. Getting a win over the Buffalo Bills was nice, but the team lost running back Bishop Sankey for the season due to injury and the team looked rusty on both sides of the ball.

The Vikings looked to improve on their gameplay in week 2 when they traveled to Seattle to take on the Seahawks, an enemy that Minnesota knows quite well thanks to a memorable playoff matchup and some familiar faces in their organization.

Sadly, Minnesota was unable to leave Seattle with a victory, as they lost the Seahawks by a final score of 13-20. However, there were still plenty of interesting things to take away from the hard-fought contest.

Let’s discuss some of the positive, negative, and interesting things from the Minnesota Vikings week 2 preseason game against the Seahawks by starting with the excellent performances and good things from the game!
