Minnesota Vikings: 3 Takeaways from 2020 NFL Pro Bowl

After eight Minnesota Vikings took part in the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl on Sunday, here are three takeaways from the game for the Vikings players.

On Sunday afternoon, multiple members of the Minnesota Vikings took the field one final time this season during the 2020 NFL Pro Bowl.

After five Vikings players were added to the list of players taking part in the annual game as replacements late last week leading up to the showcase, a total of eight Minnesota players appeared in the game for the purple and gold on Sunday afternoon at Camping World Stadium in Orlando, FL.

The Vikings players that represented Minnesota in the game included quarterback Kirk Cousins, running back Dalvin Cook, safety Harrison Smith, fullback C.J. Ham, cornerback Xavier Rhodes, linebacker Eric Kendricks and defensive ends Everson Griffen and Danielle Hunter.

While representing the NFC, the Vikings representatives and the rest of the conference ended up falling to the AFC, 38-33, on Sunday.

In the game, the difference maker between the two Pro Bowl squads came in the second quarter when the AFC outscored the NFC 17-7 ahead of halftime to carry a 24-14 lead into the break at Camping World Stadium.

In the second half, the Vikings players and the rest of the NFC weren’t able to complete a comeback as they ultimately fell in the high-scoring affair to wrap up the season for everyone that took the field.

As we officially put a bow on the season for Minnesota while it prepares a new season in 2020 once Super Bowl 54 between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers concludes this coming Sunday in Florida, let’s go back and take a look at the Pro Bowl and point out three takeaways in the game from the perspective of the Vikings.
