What a disaster. Minnesota Vikings 24, Cincinnati Bengals 27. Vikings flagged 17 times, 12 of which were accepted for 116 yards. Kirk Cousins had a solid day, but Dalvin Cook was stymied alongside a catastrophic offensive line day. Defensively, the Vikings had some bright spots, but the day was defined by Bashaud Breeland being personally or partially responsible for every touchdown the Bengals scored. It was a grim day for a franchise teetering on the edge of a plunge into total darkness. Let's break down where we stand.
