What can be learned from the Minnesota Vikings week 2 preseason contest against the Seattle Seahawks? Here are the top 5 takeaways from the game!

The Minnesota Vikings returned to action in their second preseason game on Friday night, losing to the Seattle Seahawks 20-13 at the Clink.

Despite their losing efforts, there were a lot of positives displayed by a whole host of Vikings players, many of which built on their strong performance against Buffalo.
