The Vikings went into Sunday’s home opener in borderline must-win territory. After an 0-2 start, they couldn’t afford to dig themselves further into the NFC North basement, but they were going to have to do it without star RB Dalvin Cook.
Things got off to a rough start for the Vikings, especially on the defensive side of the ball. Russell Wilson was having his way throwing the ball, and DK Metcalf was using his size and speed to get open early and often. On Seattle’s opening drive, the duo connected for a touchdown, and the track meet began.
