The Minnesota Vikings showed some impressive things early, but fell to the Seattle Seahawks 24-13 on Thursday night.
The game itself was the tale of two halves. The Vikings looked good in the first half with the twos, especially running back Ty Chandler. Once the third team came into the game, things started to go downhill for the Vikings, especially on defense.
Throughout the game, there was a lot of excitement to be back on the field and the pictures from Thursday’s game reflected that. Here are the best pictures from Thursday’s game.
