The Minnesota Vikings looked to rebound against the Indianapolis Colts in Week 2.

Coming off an embarrassing defeat to the Green Bay Packers in Week 1, the Minnesota Vikings looked to get back on track when they made the trip to Indiana to take on Philip Rivers and the Indianapolis Colts.

Last week, the team struggled on offense, got dominated in time of possession, and got pushed around by Aaron Rodgers and Aaron Jones in the Green Bay Packers offense. It was an ugly contest and things could only look up from there, right?

Sadly, Week 2 was likely more of an embarrassment. Minnesota was once again ineffective in all phases of the game and were dominated by a Colts team that ran all over a star-studded Vikings defense.

The game ended with a final score of 11-28 but that score seems generous considering there was never really any time the game felt within reach for the Minnesota Vikings. Let’s look at the positives and negatives of the game.
