The Minnesota Vikings lost in heartbreaking fashion to the Los Angeles Chargers in what felt like a must-win to salvage the 2023 season.
While this does not automatically take the Vikings out of playoff contention, the uphill climb from 0-3 is relatively much harder than the climb from 1-2.
Buy Vikings TicketsThings are frustrating for the Vikings, especially after a 13-4 season raised hopes for many. Yes, they were never going to duplicate their 11-0 record in one-score games, but this was far from the expectation.
Vikings fans have wasted no time in making their thoughts known about the disappointing start to the season and the direction of their favorite franchise.
Some are looking to the future
Your Minnesota Vikings are a mere 14 losses away from Caleb Williams https://t.co/ADGIIwAWGi

Could be 3-0
Could be 2-1
Could be 1-2So many chances in EACH game to win and it collapses #SKOL

Some are confused on how this game ended
Vikings with absolutely horrendous end of game clock management and throw a pick to become 0-3. Not ideal.#skol pic.twitter.com/OIIowUgFsu

You’ve been a quarterback in the NFL for 10 years and you still panic and don’t know to clock the ball at the end of the game & then throw a pick. It’s actually embarrassing. There’s no excuses for that from Cousins. That’s not the IOL. That’s not coaching. That’s. Kirk. Cousins.

We are all now dumber for having watched the end of that Chargers/Vikings game. If ever a game should have ended in a double loss…

I don't know how there are any Vikings fans left alive, how have they all not died from cardiac arrest through the years
