What are a few silver linings from Sunday’s Week 2 matchup that saw the Minnesota Vikings suffer a disappointing loss to the Green Bay Packers?

The Minnesota Vikings ran into a buzzsaw in Week 2 against the Green Bay Packers. They came out flying and before Mike Zimmer could even launch a snot rocket the Vikings were down 21-0.

Thanks to running back Dalvin Cook and an improved effort from the Vikings defense the team was able to claw back and had plenty of chances to win this game when all hope for a win looked lost.

Ultimately, Minnesota couldn’t get the victory and now Vikings fans will have to listen to Packer fans gloat about the victory until the two teams meet again later in the season.

As much as this loss rubs for the purple and gold, there are some positives to take away from it and build upon. What are three silver linings that the Vikings can take away from their Week 2 loss to the hated Packers?
