Minnesota Vikings Best and Worst: Week 9 vs. Kansas City Chiefs
By Adam Carlson
What were some of the best and worst things from the Minnesota Vikings during their Week 9 game against the Kansas City Chiefs?
The Minnesota Vikings were enjoying a four-game winning streak before heading to Kansas City to take on the Chiefs in Week 9 of the 2019 NFL season. They hoped to leave Arrowhead Stadium with their fifth consecutive win.
Patrick Mahomes, last year’s MVP, wasn’t able to suit up against the purple and gold for this game and several key names on their offensive and defensive line were ruled out as well. Meanwhile, the Vikings came into the game relatively healthy.
The game was a hard-fought one, with the Chiefs defending their home turf by a final score of 23-26 when Kansas City made a field goal in the final moments. This moved Minnesota to 6-3 on the season and increased the distance between them and the Packers in the NFC North.
However, there were still some good things to take away from the game as well as some stuff that just wasn’t good at all. Let’s break down all the action from the Vikings in Week 9 starting with the best thing that happened.
