Welp, at least the first half looked pretty promising.
This was supposed to be the golden opportunity to smash the narratives that had been swirling around the Vikings and their quarterback for years in front of a national audience. And for the first 30 minutes, it looked like that might happen. The Vikings looked like the better team overall and took a lead into the locker room.
Then the wheels completely fell off.
Then it looked like we might have been in line for a second consecutive miraculous comeback.
Then the comeback was thwarted.
