We all probably knew the Minnesota Vikings weren’t going to go 16-0. But that said, there is plenty to be concerned about after the Vikings fell to 1-1 following a 26-9 loss to the Steelers on Sunday.
The advantages: It’s a loss outside the division, so it doesn’t hurt the record terribly. The Steelers feature one of the top defenses in the NFL, and they’ll likely contend with the Patriots for the AFC spot in the Super Bowl.
The disadvantages: The Vikings’ current quarterback situation is a mess. The offensive line took a pretty big step back after a solid performance against New Orleans.
