What was learned about the Minnesota Vikings during their Week 7 matchup against the Baltimore Ravens at U.S. Bank Stadium?

Against a depleted Baltimore Ravens team the Minnesota Vikings continued their victorious ways, stretching their streak of consecutive wins to 3 with a 24-16 home triumph in U.S Bank Stadium.

The close score line in no way provides an accurate representation of the Vikings performance and the 8 point margin of victory severely flatters Baltimore’s performance. Offensively the Ravens had no answer to Minnesota’s ferocious defence until they scored a garbage time touchdown with seconds left on the clock. The Vikings’ defensive performance allowed their offense to enjoy a relatively pedestrian day with a few contributions from unlikely sources proving enough to secure victory.

Let’s dive in to the top five takeaways from Minnesota’s Week 7 performance and predict how they could affect the Vikings’ jaunt over to London against the Browns and beyond. Let’s started with the most important position of all and how it could define the Vikings’ season.
