The Good, Bad and Ugly: Vikings fall to Buccaneers in opener

Week 1’s loss showed plenty of good, bad and ugly

There weren’t many positives from the Minnesota Vikings season opener, as they fell to the Tampa Bay Buccaneers 20-17.

The Vikings jumped out to an early three-point lead but struggled to gain any consistency on offense to keep the game moving. That inconsistency quickly reared its ugly head in the second half, where the Vikings offense failed to sustain drives.

While an opening season loss is never an encouraging sign, there was a mixture of good and bad moments for the Vikings.
