Damn.

Vikings receivers not getting much separation that drive. Was Patterson in there?

@Andrew_Krammer Lions moved Ziggy Ansah to rookie T.J. Clemmings side, and he gets the sack on Bridgewater.

Meanwhile, Patterson looks completely comfortable on the sidelines when the Vikes are 1st and 10 on the 20. Laughing with teammates.

Does that mean he is disengaged or happy that his team is winning?

This is a much better game period. Our defense looks stout.

It is a little concerning that Johnson and Wallace have each only caught short passes. There is no deep passing threat that I can see.

First, that Chicken Fries commerical is awesome.

Second, I don't like spread sets on goal to go... there are too many defenders in a small area. I would rather have seen a fake to AD and a pass outside to Rudolph.

Absolutely. I've been impressed as hell so far by Kalil this year.

Looks like they're running a lot of read options which usually means shorter crossing routes.
