      Vikings’ review

      • Lost on another 50+ FG at the last second – no team has ever had this happen twice in a season, the Lions had it happen to them twice in five weeks
      • Dan Campbell was emotional/heartbroken for his players
      • Played it safer on offense this week, kicked FGs and let defense keep them in it
      • Goff is throwing short of the sticks and counting on YAC
      • Hockenson getting bottled up, Swift still making noise
      • Tracy Walker is PFF’s No. 2 safety after five weeks, (3rd vs run, 7th vs pass)
      • Jalen Reeves-Maybin came up in the clutch with a forced fumble and recovery
      • The rookie DTs starting to settle in
      • EDGE players playing well – Flowers looks solid, Harris 4 sacks in 4 games
