There were plenty of positives and negatives from the Minnesota Vikings during their Week 5 game against the Seattle Seahawks.

Week 5 saw the Minnesota Vikings hit the road with only one win under their belt to take on an undefeated Seattle Seahawks squad that has potential MVP Russell Wilson at the helm on offense.

Meanwhile, the purple and gold were coming off their first win of the season and were looking to expand on their chances to turn the season around by getting a big win on the road against a tough opponent.

Sadly, the Vikings weren’t able to put the Seahawks away. In a game that was as frustrating as it was competitive, Minnesota made some controversial decisions and dealt with a big injury, falling to 1-4 following the 26-27 loss.

There were some really great things to come out of the game for the Minnesota Vikings while some other things definitely weren’t great. Here are the best and worst things from Week 5 against the Seahawks.
