The Minnesota Vikings lost a hard-fought game to the Cleveland Browns. Who are the players who didn’t live up to expectations in that game?

The Minnesota Vikings lost their third game of the 2021 season on Sunday, falling to the Cleveland Browns 14-7. The Vikings‘ offense started out on fire and methodically made their way down the field, taking up the majority of the first quarter before punching it in for a touchdown. Unfortunately, there wasn’t much offense after that point

Minnesota’s defense couldn’t stop the run, but they still managed to make enough stops to keep the team alive in the game. The offense couldn’t cash in on the multiple late opportunities they were given and that, combined with some questionable calls by the refs, was enough to give the Vikings their third loss of the season.

Minnesota did have some players who stepped up in this game and played their hearts out. Everson Griffen, Blake Lynch, and Cam Dantzler were all impressive on defense, and Justin Jefferson was able to make some plays on offense. There were just too many donning that purple that didn’t live up to expectations. Who were the five guys that were disappointing in the loss to the Browns?
