Ponder started with a couple of completions, one a really long pass to rookie Jarious Wright. That set the tone. Peterson had another monster day, especially the second half, and the Vikings offense had long sustained drives so the defense, especially the run defense, looked GREAT again.
Add in a couple of turnovers by Detroit and Ponder only getting sacked ONCE, because he STEPPED UP IN THE POCKET when pressured, and you actually had a very good football game with little complaints.
Was that so hard guys?
Vikes now have a couple weeks off to let various injuries heal including Harvin's ankle. My interest is piqued once more. It's game 10 and I still care. Surprise. Surprise.
Also good? The mediocre Falcons finally lost a game. They've actually played poorly enough to be a .500 ball club but somehow always managed to pull out games in the end. They had a first down on the two yard line again yesterday with time running out but this time they BLEW IT. The Saints picked up the win.
Better? The Bears played horribly at home last night on a rain-soaked field and they lost to the Texans.
The Vikes have the Bears in two weeks. Then the Packers and then the Bears again. This is not an easy schedule and this is not an easy division. Still interested, however, and still trying to figure out Ponder.
