Some players on the Minnesota Vikings need a much better performance in the team's second game of the 2023 NFL preseason?

The Minnesota Vikings lost their first preseason game last week to the Seattle Seahawks by a final score of 24-13. There were a handful of Vikings players that played well. Ty Chandler, Jordan Addison, Jalen Reagor, Ivan Pace Jr., and Najee Thompson all had great moments and solid overall games.

That was great to see for various reasons. Obviously, it's good seeing young players step up, but it's also a relief to see the guy most likely to be Minnesota's backup running back look decisive, explosive, and powerful.

It was also reassuring to see wide receiver Jalen Reagor play well and even help younger players line up in the right spots, leading many to believe there's still a spot for him on this team.

While those Vikings players looked great, there were some who didn't have their best performances. In fact, the subpar play of some other Minnesota players actually created more questions than answers.

These Vikings players need to have a much better showing in this week's preseason game against the Tennessee Titans, or there will be a ton of negative buzz surrounding each and every one of them.
