Minnesota Vikings Unsung Heroes: Week 3 vs. the Tennessee Titans
By Luke Parrish
The Minnesota Vikings suffered a tough loss in Week 3 to the Tennessee Titans.
After two poor performances, the Minnesota Vikings appear to have turned things around despite another loss. In Sunday’s losing effort against the Tennessee Titans, Minnesota saw some incredible signs from a host of stars.
First-round pick Justin Jefferson exploded onto the scene in his first extended action, hauling in seven grabs for 175 yards and a touchdown. Dalvin Cook carried the ball 22 times for 181 yards and a score of his own. On the defensive side, Yannick Ngakoue continued to impress with his second strip-sack in as many games.
The Vikings found some bright spots from guys that they expect big contributions from and that is always good to see. However, as enjoyable as it is to see young playmakers step up, expectations are given for a reason.
Instead of looking at the best players from Week 3, let’s give some extra love to the guys who deserve it after a tough loss. Here are this week’s unsung heroes for Minnesota.
