The Vikings had multiple chances to send Sunday's game against the Chiefs to overtime, thanks to a defensive game plan that limited returning league MVP Patrick Mahomes at times. But the Vikings' fourth one-score loss of the season left them with more questions to worry about.
They fell 27-20 to the Chiefs on Sunday afternoon at U.S. Bank Stadium, in a game they finished with Justin Jefferson watching on the sideline because of a hamstring injury. The Vikings also had Garrett Bradbury, Akayleb Evans, T.J. Hockenson and long snapper Andrew DePaola leave the game at times.
Kansas City finished a pair of third-quarter drives with touchdowns to take a 27-13 lead, before the Vikings pulled within seven.
