The Vikes were hitting on all cylinders for a while there, doing damage on offense, defense and special teams. The Texans began to make a little headway late in the half but overall, the Vikes are playing impressive football so far.

The injury to Patterson sucks. I loved his effort to get the ball in the endzone, even if he came up short. Hopefully, the hip injury isn't serious but he's considered questionable for the rest of this game. i don't know if it's been mentioned but Fusco has a concussion.

The early bye week might be a real blessing for this team.

Meanwhile, Bradford's been impressive but Im worried about the hits he's taking. Clemmings is, in particular, is getting schooled on the left side.

Turner's game plan has been quite good. The defense remains dominant. I hope the Vikes bring the hammer down in the 3rd quarter, close this one out early and get some of their key players a little extra rest.

I think that's a 2018 pick.

Patterson (hip) is back in the game to start this drive.

Again.

Seriously, do I need to say more? Maybe PFF has it right?

Been a while since they had a QB who could accurately throw that ball.

Are they not going to give Clemmings some help? Why would they put him (or anyone) one on one with Clowney?
