Here are the good, bad, and interesting moments from the Minnesota Vikings Week 2 NFL matchup against the Steelers in Pittsburgh!

The Minnesota Vikings entered Week 2 of the NFL season coming off a big win over the New Orleans Saints on Monday Night Football where both the offense and defense looked very strong against a capable team.

However, this week the opponents of the Vikings are the Pittsburgh Steelers. Last week, Pittsburgh’s defense looked strong and their offense has too many great weapons to shut down them all.

The Vikings ended up on the losing end of the game, dropping this contest to the Steelers 9-26 in a game that wasn’t as competitive as many fans would have hoped the game would be.

But there were plenty of good, bad, and interesting things from the game on Sunday, September 17, 2017. Here are the Ups and Downs from Week 2!
