There were plenty of positives and negatives for the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3 as they faced off against the Buffalo Bills on Sunday, Sept. 23, 2018.

The Minnesota Vikings entered Week 3 of the 2018 NFL season without a loss on their record following a win against the San Francisco 49ers and a draw on the road against the Green Bay Packers.

On Sunday, Sept. 23, the Vikings took on the Buffalo Bills in front of the crowd at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota in a contest Minnesota was a double-digit favorite to emerge victorious from.

The outcome of the game was far from the Vikings blowout win most expected. The Bills grabbed control of the game early and held on to that lead for the entire game. Minnesota fell at home 6-27 but there was some good and a lot of bad things that happened in the game.

Let’s look at the positives, negatives, and overall impression from the Minnesota Vikings in Week 3 against the Buffalo Bills starting with the good things (yes, there actually were some) that happened!
