The season ended on a high note. The Vikings won with a defense that looked great again. Asiata had his best game as a Viking while Teddy shined brightly once more. The future is looking brighter. With the Wolves on an 8-game losing streak and the Wild on a 5-game losing streak of their own, this win was big for Minnesota sports fans.
(Side note: IF I were in charge, I would change the interception rule. The official scorekeeper should be allowed to place primary responsibility for the INT on either the QB or the receiver. IF the receiver muffs it or drops it, it should go on HIS charts not the quarterback's. Obviously that would still make it a judgement call, but passes that clearly should have been caught should be the receiver's responsibility, NOT the quarterback's. You don't give the pitcher an error if the third baseman mishandles a grounder. It irks me so much to see pretty good passes intercepted just because the receiver didn't do HIS job. Actually, as long as I was at it, dropped passes would no longer be incompletions. They would be listed as dropped passes and go on the receiver's records as such, not on the quarterback's. End of side note.)
If I were a Packer fan living in the Green Bay area, frontier justice would have taken care of the Lion's Ndamukong Suh last night before he got on the team bus. And if I were a Detroit Lion, I would have let the enraged fans have their way with him. Since that didn't happen, I'll call for a lifetime ban on him from the NFL. His antics have gone on long enough. Deliberately stepping on a quarterback's leg with spiked shoes and pressing down with emphasis, along with his past misdeeds, should be enough to file him away for life. AND if the union is really for protecting players they should file an assault case against him. The guy at this point should be serving jail time.
He spoiled what had been, up to that point, a great football game. The Packers have now beaten the Lions 23 straight games at home. The Lions have now lost 15 straight road games against teams with winning records. And Aaron gets an extra week off for his calf to heal. Go Packers!
Detroit has the Cowboys next week at Dallas. Go Dallas! And the league BETTER do something major this week to Suh.
The Broncos clinched a first round bye yesterday as well with a blowout win over lowly Oakland.
Go Denver!
The playoffs start next Saturday. I can hardly wait.
