The Minnesota Vikings are off to another slow start in 2021, but they’re making it interesting every week. And when you consider that their four opponents thus far have a combined record of 12-4, you could possibly excuse the Vikings’ 1-3 record.
Looking a little deeper, you can definitely see some improvements from last year’s disappointing performance, but there are flaws, too, that could keep this team where it has been for years: mediocre and unable to take the next step.
Of course, that may be plenty to beat a Detroit Lions team still in the infancy of a rebuild.
