Vikings!

Okay, beating the Cardinals may not be a big deal at this point, BUT they did win, and they won fairly easily.

Highlights?

Theilen. 6 straight games to start the season with at least 100 yards. Only one player in history has done more back in 1961. He had 7.

Theilen. His touchdown dance was a hoot. Catch it if you can.

Theilen. 58 catches through the first 6 games. NO ONE has ever had more.

Murray. 155 yards rushing. The best Vikings rushing day of the season.

The bad? As much as I enjoy Cousins, he sure throws a lot of balls into the hands of defensive linemen. I lost count how many were batted down yesterday at the line. 7 or 8 at least. PLUS and awful interception, and another fumble.

The Vikings defense was so good it didn't matter, but against a good team? It would have been a different story.

Speaking of good teams. The game last night between the Patriots and Chiefs was incredible. A 43-40 score only added. My Patriots won. But I'm probably going to be calling them my Chiefs before long. Patrick Mahomes ( the son of former Twins pitcher Pat Mahomes) is an outstanding rookie quarterback. He's going to be fun to watch in the future.

The worst? It looks like the Vikings lost their star rookie cornerback, Mike Hughes, to a torn ACL. A simple play and out for the season.
