The Minnesota Vikings played their guts out against the Baltimore Ravens. In fact, the team should've won the game, but somehow didn't. Minnesota never turned the ball over, didn't allow a sack, and even had a special teams play returned for a touchdown. Unfortunately, at the end of the day, the Vikings lost. Adam Thielen opens up about the team's current hardships.

Thielen was consulted on Monday. He goes into detail about what it's like taking these hard losses, stating, “After having an opportunity to win a game, your mind goes to different places,” per Sam Ekstrom.

The Vikings star receiver goes on to explain his thought process. Minnesota has a solid group of players on the roster. Additionally, this team has lost a few close games this year already. They just could easily have three more wins on their record if things played out differently, per Andrew Krammer.
