The Minnesota Vikings lost the turnover battle 0-3, and the Denver Broncos beat them 21-20 on Sunday Night Football. The Vikings ran the ball well, and Dobbs worked his magic early in the game, but it wasn’t enough to overcome a pick and two fumbles. Minnesota is 3-0 when they win the turnover battle, 2-0 when they tie, and 1-5 when they lose it.
Minnesota still has four straight winnable games coming up, but they’ll have to take care of the ball to give themselves a chance to take the division from the Detroit Lions late in the season.
