After a disappointing 20-17 loss at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers, it didn’t take long for Vikings fans to find a familiar scapegoat. Minnesota’s interior offensive line struggled in pass protection against Vita Vea and the Buccaneers defensive line. Garrett Bradbury left the game early with a back injury, and Austin Schlottmann played like an unprepared backup, which he is.
However, it was Ed Ingram who really caught the ire of Vikings faithful. Ingram was absolutely atrocious in the Vikings’ season opener. I have never seen an offensive lineman generate turnovers against his team at such a high level like Ingram has.
