In Week 1, the Minnesota Vikings led 17-7 at halftime and lost 24-17 to the San Diego Chargers.

In Week 2, the Vikings' 17-0 halftime lead over the Tampa Bay Buccaneers vanished on the way to a 24-20 defeat.

And Sunday, they watched as a 20-0 lead over the Detroit Lions evaporated into a 26-23 overtime loss.

Those turns of event have dropped the Vikings into their own special niche of NFL history. According to the Elias Sports Bureau, they are the fifth team ever to start a season 0-3 when leading at halftime in each game.
