Showing Cushing on the sideline and selling this as a tale of the Texans losing because of injuries when Harvin and Robison are out is just crap from the announcers.

this was the most solid, complete game i've seen the vikings play against a good opponent since they beat the eagles in 2010 (i didn't see the SF game this season).

although he made a few boneheaded throws, the vikings can win with THIS ponder. he was at least somewhat accurate today and made good plays with his feet. lucky for him that last bad throw wasn't intercepted, but this was his best game since probably september.

And if he extends said injury it'll only be more difficult for him to get all those yards next game.
Yeah, aot of us, or at least me, were just hoping for the rushing record since there was no way we would get into the playoffs. We are 1 step closer. Personaly I never thought it, not even as a dream. Im giddy as a schoolgirl just at the chance of it.

I really, really can't believe this. This team that went 3-13 last year has now dominated the two top teams in the league (according to many). Beating a 12-2 team on the road by three scores? That's just insane.

They were making excuses all game and saying that this game was "shocking."

frazier has done a solid job this whole season. most of our shortcomings were player talent related. i am very happy with the job frazier has done.

They said he was nursing a groin injury this week. He's at 25 carries on the day and it's possible that he aggravated the injury and Frazier decided to shut him down and preserve him for next week.

The Texans are 12-2 and have been a very well rounded strong team all season. They're also playing at home against an underdog with a terrible road win percentage. I'm sorry but most unbiased spectators would probably say this kind of victory for the Vikings is shocking.
