Well, the streak had to end sometime. 

The Vikings' improbable win streak will end at five games. In typical Vikings' fashion, it was a back-and-forth affair on Sunday Night Football.

Let's dive in to the rapid reaction from this exciting matchup 

Joshua Dobbs is a capable QB

Joshua Dobbs ended the night 20/32 for 221 yards, 1 TD and 1 INT. Dobbs also lost a fumble. 

While the turnovers are concerning, Dobbs did enough to make up for it. The QB made plays with his legs, scoring a rushing TD and keeping plays alive all night. 

Is Dobbs a star QB? Absolutely not. But, he can win games when the rest of his team picks him up. Ultimately, the Vikings didn't force any turnovers, and that ended up being the difference. 

Ty Chandler needs more carries 

Ty Chandler needs to be on the field more. The backup running back contributed in the passing game, running game, and on special teams. 

Chandler took a direct snap for a huge gain on a fake punt. The back just looks explosive with the ball in his hands, and should get more opportunities. 

The loss of Akayleb Evans was big 

Mekhi Blackmon stepped in for Akayleb Evans in this game. Blackmon did not play terribly, but he did give up the game-winning score to Courtland Sutton. 

Sutton ended the night with 4 catches for 66 yards and 1 TD. The 1 TD ended up winning the game, and Sutton "Moss'd" Blackmon. 

One has to assume Evans would have been able to make a couple more plays than Blackmon. 

One permanent lineup change the Vikings must make

The Vikings need to get the best playmakers on the field.
