Vikings stumble with 8 false starts, Loons forge ahead in playoffs
Update: 2025-11-10
Description
Two words could sum up the latest Vikings game: false start. In football, teams get penalized when offensive players move before a play officially begins. On Sunday, Minnesota racked up eight of those false-start penalties. That’s more than any home team since 2009.
The confusion helped fuel the Vikings' loss to the Baltimore Ravens, with a final score of 19 to 27.
In soccer, Minnesota United is moving forward in the playoffs after about as close of a playoff game you can possibly get. Penalty kicks went into sudden death, which happens after no team wins in five rounds of kicks.
Minnesota Now’s regular sports contributors Wally Langfellow and Eric Nelson joined host Nina Moini with the latest sports headlines.
