What were the best and worst things to come from the Week 11 game between the Minnesota Vikings and Denver Broncos on Sunday, Nov. 17, 2019?

The Minnesota Vikings entered Week 11 of the 2019 NFL season in a tough place. They were one game behind the Packers in the NFC North and they need to stay ahead of the competition in the event they need a Wild Card spot.

Minnesota came out very flat in this game. Their offense couldn’t move the football at all in the first half and the defense had no answer for Denver’s passing attack. Not only that, but they hurt themselves a lot with penalties on their way to being down 0-20 at halftime.

The second half was a completely different story. The Vikings offense couldn’t be stopped and the Broncos struggled to put points on the board. The purple and gold executed a comeback for the ages, winning the game by a final score of 27-23.

Let’s dive headfirst into this game and talk about the good, bad, and interesting things that happened in Week 11, starting off with some positives from the game against the Broncos on Nov. 17, 2019.
