WK 1: Cowboys @ Vikings |
 - 30
 - 20
The defending Super Bowl CHAMPS... Minnesota Vikings, played host to Americas Team Week 1. The Offseason was brutal for the once MIGHTY Purple & any success seen this season will be the result of a team that definately is still in search of it's identity.
The Good:
* It didn't get much better than rookie MLB Hugh Harmon who had 13 tackles (2 were for a loss)... he seemed to be EVERYWHERE!
* WR Percy Harvin appears to be the primary target for newly appominted signal caller Jay Cutler... Percy had 6 receptions for 176 yards.
* Rookie FS Jamar Robbins had 4 tackles and was the proud recipiant of an ill advised pass by QB Tony Romo.
The Bad:
* Special Teams gave up a 95 yard kick return for a score... Felix Jones delivered the deadly blow.
* SS Kam Chancellor was named MVP of the game... 3 tackles, a fumble recovery returned 60 yards (eventually resulting in 3 points), an interception & 2 deflections.
Closing statement from GM Darryl Breckheimer:
There no shame in losing to quality team managed by one of the best The GridIron has to offer, Kevin Mullendore has my utmost respect. I'm pleased that QB Jay Cutler didn't lose this game for us... though I already find myself missing the "come back magic" Brett Favre provided. Also, it wasn't easy parting way with MLB Brian Urlacher this offseason... but, I believe rookie MLB Hugh Harmon showed why we selected him 2nd overall! Welook forward to week 2 when we face the Denver Broncos... another home game in our NEW outdoor stadium!  |
