Following their loss to the Green Bay Packers on Sunday, what are some of the biggest takeaways from the performance of the Minnesota Vikings?

Well, it happened earlier than some would have liked to see, but the Minnesota Vikings suffered their first loss of the 2019 season on Sunday. To make the results even worse, the Vikings’ losing effort came against a fellow NFC North member in the Green Bay Packers.

It was a game that saw Minnesota get off to a terrible start and find themselves down by 21 points less than 20 minutes into the matchup.

However, the Vikings were able to make the proper adjustments to get back into the game and make it competitive for the rest of the afternoon. In what looked like it was going to be a blowout at first, Minnesota actually had a chance to come out with a win multiple times late in the matchup.

Unfortunately, the Vikings walked off the field with a loss and they are now sitting with a 1-1 record. The results will definitely leave a bitter taste in Minnesota’s mouth for a little bit, especially knowing that they had a number of opportunities to leave Green Bay with a victory.

So now that the game has concluded, what are some of the biggest takeaways from the disappointing events that took place at Lambeau Field on Sunday afternoon?
