They also had six drops in the Oct. 8 loss to the Chiefs.
Most of the damage has come from receiver K.J. Osborn (7 drops), Alexander Mattison (6) and tight end T.J. Hockenson (5). Osborn dropped two passes on Sunday, when the Vikings fell below the Browns (27 drops) and Lions (26) for the NFL's most bumbled targets.

Mike Conley was in Minneapolis, where he sounded the Gjallarhorn at the Vikings game, on Sunday during the robbery.
