NFC North Week 2 recap: Are the Vikings, not the Lions, the worst team in the North?

The story of last week for the Vikings was their inability to hold onto the ball on offense and the same goes for this week. Once again, they lost the time of possession battle by nearly a 2:1 ratio and turned the ball over three times. All three of those turnovers were interceptions from Kirk Cousins, who turned in a statline of 11-for-26, 113 passing yards, zero touchdowns and three interceptions. Yikes.

The Vikings defense has now given up 71 points combined in their first two games of the season, which is very uncharacteristic of them.
