There’s just something about Vikings-Panthers.
Last season, Minnesota had special teams miscues and turnovers to keep Carolina close. The Vikings needed last-minute heroics to pull off the victory and get their season back on track.
Same team, similar story: Minnesota had yet another chaotic matchup with Carolina. The Vikings gave up a blocked punt for a touchdown this year. Just like Minnesota’s muffed punt in 2020 against Carolina, the Vikings overcame their mistakes to swing their season in a positive direction — with help from a wide receiver scoring a timely touchdown. This time, Kirk Cousins found WR K.J. Osborn for the game-winner.
Unlike last year, Minnesota is .500 heading into its bye week. Though the Vikings started 0-2, Minnesota has found a way to finish close games recently.
