The Vikings improve to 2-1 and now have to wait and see if the
Packers win their game. And they will see if they will be tied
for 1st or if they will be in 2nd place. Moss went off today he
was unstoppable. There was no one on the field that could hold
him. He was beating everyone. And he showed why he is the best
receiver in the league. He had 10 catches for 204 yards and 2
touchdowns. And he wasn't the only guy on the offensive side
that was on fire. Culpepper was 21 for 33 for 373 yards and 2
touchdowns and 1 interecption. He was sacked 4 times today but
the line did do a good job holding them. Some of it was on
Culpepper himself holding on to the ball to long. Bennett had a
decent game today. He rushed for 70 yards on 12 attempts and
scored 1 touchdown. He also caught 2 passes for 6 yards. Moss
and Bennett weren't the only ones holding their weight
receiving. Kleinsasser had a good game for a Tight End. He had 4
receptions for 62 yards. Robinson caught 3 passes for 66 yards.
For a guy who was getting overshadowed by Moss he still was able
to get some yards. And it wasn't like the d was being
overshadowed they had some highlights. Hovan was a beast out
there today. Getting 2 sacks and hitting Grossman a lot. He
might have only had the 2 sacks but he was getting through the
o-line all day. They doubled him and he was still getting
through. And due to him getting through the we're able to sack
the quarterback 5 times. Hovan was making the way for other
teammates to show up. Nattiel, Lyon, and Eiland we're able to
also get a sack on Grossman. But sacks weren't the only thing
that they were getting. They were able to get 3 picks. Russell
had a heck of a game. He had 2 tackles and made some great
picks. He was able to get the first pick in the 1st quarter and
was able to stop the Bears come back by picking Grossman off
late in the game to save the win for them. Claiborne was able to
get himself a pick as well. Chavous and Winfield we're all over
the field today. They weren't able to get a sack or interecption
but they lead the team in tackles with 5 and 4. But they were
able to shut down the Bears receivers. Even though the defense
almost lost the game for them they were able to shut them down.
They gave up only 366 yards. Culpepper had more yards than the
whole Bears team. They had 248 yards passing and 118 rushing.
They couldn't stop the rushing so much but the passing game was
not as effective as the Bears wanted. They were able to turn
their turnovers into 14 points. It was a tough game for the
Vikings in the 2nd half only scoring 3 points but they will be
able to hold on for the victory. They will get a nice break
cause they have a bye nice week. Which will give the league nice
break from Moss. Moss is on pace to get more touchdowns than he
did last year. Through 3 games Moss has 27 receptions 500 yards
and 5 touchdowns. He is either in 2nd or tied for 2nd in each
category he is on a roll.
