After a 39-10 whipping of the Los Angeles Chargers, what are some things the Minnesota Vikings can improve before their Week 16 matchup?

Last week, the Minnesota Vikings went on the road to Los Angeles and ended up blowing out the Chargers by 29 points.

The Vikings defense was the star of the show, as they forced seven turnovers from the Chargers on their home field. Minnesota even scored a rare defensive touchdown in the rout, as Ifeadi Odenigbo scooped up a strip-sack by Danielle Hunter and took it to the house.

Even the Vikings special teams got in on the action. They blocked a punt that gave Minnesota excellent field position and eventually led to more points. It was a great win for the Vikings and one that set them up in a very nice position to get into the playoffs with two games remaining.

As good as this win was, Minnesota still could have played better. The Vikings will need to improve their overall performance if they are going to advance far in the playoffs this season.

So what are three things Minnesota can improve as they prepare for a huge Monday night game against the Green Bay Packers in Week 16?
