From Kevin Siefert's weekly Free Head Exam of the Vikings:

This fact bears repeating: The Vikings sacked Skelton seven times without blitzing once. Not a single time. Never in 69 snaps, according to ESPN Stats & Information. (Some of you thought the Vikings blitzed on a fourth-quarter play that ended with Kevin Williams' sack, but replays show the Vikings jumped out of a blitz just before the snap and sent only four rushers.)

That's impressive for the Vikings...and depressing for Arizona.

The Vikings DL really got after Skelton. By the same token, the Cardinals are really having OL problems.

Skelton certainly didn't help matters for the Cardinals. I can't recall the last time I've seen a young QB who was either that slow or that immobile. He also had the chance to throw the ball away a couple of times that he was flushed from the pocket, but elected not to.
