The Minnesota Vikings saw their 8-game win streak snapped in Carolina, despite a valiant comeback attempt in the fourth quarter. Here are the unit grades!
Minnesota, a team that has prided itself on consistency and discipline throughout the season, was plagued by turnovers and costly penalties for the first time since Week 4.
There had been flashes of this sort of erratic play in weeks’ past (at Washington, at Detroit), but the Vikings’ had been able to overcome their errors and pull out the ‘W’. While they were only a few plays away from doing the same in Charlotte, the mistakes proved too costly, and the Vikings now sit at 10-3 heading into Week 15.
It’s a blip on the radar of an otherwise marvelous season, and while the offensive line’s health woes have to be a concern going forward, there are a few of positives to take from this game as well.
With lots to digest, especially on the offensive side of the ball. Let’s check out the unit grades for Week 14.
