Falling to 0-4 would have been a disaster. Thankfully, Minnesota overcame an underwhelming Carolina football team, leaving a small glimmer of hope for the 2023 season.

The latest episode of Notes from the North — a humble Vikings podcast — responds to how the purple overcame the Panthers. Or, put differently, what should be taken from the Vikings’ 21-13 victory over Carolina. No one is mistaking the Panthers for a Super Bowl contender, and yet getting a win is always to be celebrated in the NFL.
