The Minnesota Vikings had their eight-game win streak snapped on Sunday after a 31-24 loss at the Carolina Panthers.
The Vikings committed three turnovers, the defense gave up a few costly big plays and committed costly penalties and wide receivers who have been solid all year suddenly were dropping passes. It was an uncharacteristic performance by a Vikings squad that has been one of the best teams in the NFL with Case Keenum at quarterback and a dominant defense.
Despite all the adversity, the Vikings had a chance to win the game late. Their chances to win the NFC also arguably got better despite the loss.
