Other than that 1 INT Case played well enough to easily win this game. You are right though a ton went right for the Panthers and against the Vikings. Credit to them for making some good play calls. Ultimately the Vikings didn't make plays and they still had a chance to come back and tie it. Assuming these injuries aren't serious we will be ok.
He threw behind Diggs for an easy touchdown that got broken up. He way overthrew Diggs for the second pick and the first pick was just a bad ball. He got crushed by the blitz rather than changing the call at the line and attacking the hole that opens up because of the blitz. He wasn't very good today outside of extending a few plays with great movement in the pocket. Two possessions that start inside their 40 and we end up with only 3 points. I'm definitely not putting this loss only on him, but this just goes to the narrative that he's not good enough to overcome bad games by his supporting pieces.
That the Vikings were even in this game at the end with all three of their new O-linemen out is impressive. The game was lost on a bunch of unforced errors, and with all that and a patchwork O-line they could have, and should have won. Most disappointing is this loss really is on the defense.
Hopefully they get their O-line back next week. If they do I'm confident they'll go into the playoffs on a three game winning streak!

Yeah that TD throw wasn't good enough but they dropped 2 of them earlier. Diggs should have come down with that ball on the 2nd pick even if it wasn't a good throw. Keenum led 2 scoring drives with an Oline that was patched together. He ran for a few first downs. I'm not sure what else you want the guy to do espcially when they basically couldn't run the ball later in the game.
