Well it wasn’t pretty, but I think most Vikings’ fans will take it.
There was the good…Robert Ferguson’s almost touchdown catch and run, Adrian Peterson’s two TDs, an important reception by Jim Kleinsasser
The bad…Antoine Winfield’s injury
The ugly…missed extra point, several(!) miscommunications and botched handoffs, Travaris Jackson’s three interceptions
Unfortunately, the Vikings we saw Monday night more resemble the team than those blowout wins over the Giants and Lions.
Every game the Vikings play in will be close if their defense does not put up some points on the board or cause turnovers deep in their opponent’s territory. When the defense can score it takes the pressure off the offense and they have shown the ability to bury teams.
It was nice for them to win even though they played a bad game. But two things stick with me. The rushing game was shut down for the second consecutive contest, and Travaris Jackson took a step backwards.
One thing I did like was the confidence Childress showed in Jackson to lead a mini drive at the end of the first half that led to the touchdown even though he just had thrown a horrible interception. The coaching staff is coaching with confidence and seems to be trusting the players to make big plays.
On a side note…how bad was the Chicago offense. Geez!
