I don't know--didn't seem like we were that competitive to me.  We "outgained" them on the last drive, after we were already down 14, to get to a meager ~350 yards.  That isn't how we've played all season, and it was disappointing considering how we've played offensively all year thus far.
 
They also handled us at the LOS.  We had 10 penalties [or whatever it ended up being], several of which were costly.  6 sacks, when we'd only given up 3 in three games thus far.
 
We gained lots of our yardage between the 20s, didn't score a TD until the final minute, etc.
 
Now, I think the game was [U]winnable[/U] because Minnesota isn't all that good.  Hats of to them--they beat us, they're 4-0.  But they only scored 17, some of which is attributable to our defense [although they missed two FGs that would have made the end results more ugly], but their crowd was on their feet the entire game, and justifiably so--because we never gave any reason to sit their fans down.  We got handled, which is tremendously disappointing.
