The Minnesota Vikings were the last unbeaten team in the NFL. But on Sunday, boy did they get beaten.
One of our experts believes they got exposed in their big loss at the Philadelphia Eagles. So that leads to this week's #PulseOfTheNation question for you:
"We were soft. We got overpowered. We got whipped," coach Mike Zimmer said after Sunday's game. "It was a poor display. We have to stay away from negative plays offensively. We're not good enough to overcome these things."
The Vikings are 5-1, and face the one-win Chicago Bears next week on Halloween before hosting the division-rival Detroit Lions (4-3). The Green Bay Packers again seem to be Minnesota's toughest rival, moving to 4-2 on Thursday night with a 26-10 win over those Bears.
