There was a lot to learn in the Week 3 game between the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks. Here are five big takeaways from the contest.

The Minnesota Vikings entered Week 3 of the 2021 NFL season with a big chip on their shoulders. Their first two games of the season came down to the wire and the team sadly sat at 0-2 while losing both those games by a total of four points.

Although their Week 3 game against the Seattle Seahawks wasn’t a must-win situation for the purple and gold, it was an opportunity for the team to get back on track in front of their home crowd for the first time in almost two years.

Minnesota also hadn’t beaten Seattle in their previous seven meetings and had never gotten the best of Russel Wilson before Sunday’s 30-17 victory that put the Vikings offense front and center against a team with many great weapons of their own.

There were some interesting things that were learned from the game on Sunday, Sept. 26 that can carry over to the rest of the season. Let’s look at five big takeaways from the Week 3 game between the Minnesota Vikings and Seattle Seahawks.
