What were the most disappointing aspects of the Minnesota Vikings heartbreaking loss to the Los Angeles Chargers on Sunday?

The Minnesota Vikings lost again, this time in heartbreaking fashion to the Los Angeles Chargers by a final score of 28-24 on Sunday.

The Vikings had the game given to them on a silver platter but couldn't cash in. Instead of spiking the ball to stop the clock and call the right play, Minnesota quarterback Kirk Cousins hurried his team up and threw a pass that was intercepted and sealed the Vikings' defeat.

The Vikings had plenty of things go wrong in this one, and there isn't one aspect of this team that is free of blame in the defeat.

Minnesota's offense seemed to lack rhythm all game long, and defensively, they had no answer for the Chargers passing attack. The Vikings left plenty of points on the field, and it's those types of missed opportunities that have led to their 0-3 start this season.

There is a ton of talent on this Vikings team, but the sloppy execution and mental mistakes are holding them back.

It's been a frustrating start to the season for Minnesota, so here are the most disappointing things to come out of their most recent defeat.
