More Good Stuff

Positivity was hard to find during this game. Those who thought the Minnesota Vikings were going to bounce back were in for a shock when the team seemed completely inept against the Colts in every phase of the game.

Anything that appears in the list below is incredibly generous since it would be tough to call anything that happened in this game that was good. Still, there has to be some stuff in this section, so here we go:

Other good things from Week 2

  • That first sack: Yannick Ngakoue got his first sack as a member of the purple and gold. After being almost invisible last week, the defensive end landed two hits on quarterback Philip Rivers. This is hopefully just the start of greatness to come.
  • Leading the way again: Another week, another good showing from Eric Kendricks. The linebacker is simply the most reliable defender on the field. He led the way with 12 total tackles on the day, 11 of those being solo efforts and one being for a loss.
  • No lost fumbles. Sure, there were interceptions and bad plays all over the place, but one thing that didn’t happen was a fumble lost and recovered by the Colts. Then again, a meteor didn’t fall on the stadium either, and that could be included in this section.
