The Minnesota Vikings lost their second straight game, but not everything to come out of their Week 2 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles was negative.
It's been a few days now, and the sting isn't as intense, but the fact is the Minnesota Vikings are now 0-2 to start the 2023 season after losing last Thursday night to the Philadelphia Eagles.
The Vikings were beaten, not just by the Eagles, but also by themselves by turning the ball over four times. Minnesota lacked any sort of running game and couldn't stop the run if their lives depended on it.
It was a frustrating defeat because had the Vikings played clean football, they might have just gotten the win on the road in Philadelphia.
Despite the loss, there are some positives Minnesota can glean from this game. Not everything went south, and despite being 0-2, the Vikings can feel proud of these aspects of their game and even build off them for the next game on their schedule against the Los Angeles Chargers.
So here are three silver linings from Minnesota's loss to the Eagles in Week 2, starting with some backups stepping up on offense when the Vikings needed them the most.
