Minnesota Vikings Week 2 Superlatives

The Minnesota Vikings defeated the San Francisco 49ers, 23-17. It was a brilliant win. It was a statement win. The supposed “experts” that predicted six wins, maybe even seven wins, must rethink their “expert” takes on the Vikings. Head coach Kevin O’Connell gave game balls to the entire team. It was deserved. It took the entire team to make this win possible. Players. Coaches. Everyone. The players of the week in the big win over the 49ers are the entire team.
