Winfield was out and still dealing with his foot injury that he suffered in week 6 against Baltimore, with 1 more weekend off Corner Back Benny Sapp replaced him.
Percy Harvin made the Vikings 1st touchdown, Shiancoe made the 2nd, Berrian 3rd & Sidney Rice made the 4th bringing the Vikings to a 28-0 lead. I honestly wanted to shut Seattle all the way out, but Seattle got on the board with a Field Goal late in the 3rd quarter. While Favre rested T-Jack came in at QB for the Vikings & hits Sidney Rice for another Vikings touchdown, which made it 35-3. Seattle gets a TD, but missed the field goal ... and we walked away with 35-9 Another VICTORY.
I'm not worrying about the running game. The Vikings were held scoreless in the 1st quarter in part because of Seattle’s defensive scheme, focusing line play inside. That stops the run. The Vikings were able to turn to the passing game to spread things out and counter what the Seahawks defensive line was doing. Beginning with the 3rd possession Favre dropped back to pass on 11 of 16 plays, resulting in 2 TDs. In the 1st 13 plays, Favre dropped back only 5 times. That’s what a balanced offense gives you. Vikings don’t necessarily have big flashy numbers in the passing game every week or huge numbers on the ground. But being multi-dimensional with a capable defense, should take the Vikings a long way in the playoffs
I don't see any more cake-walks for the rest of the season. Although Chicago isn't playing well, Cutler has the potential to rip off a great game and with one of those games in deep December outside we shall see. With AZ and the Panthers on the road 2 very different teams, I could see us losing one of those or both if we don't play good pass defense in one and run defense in another. Yes I said it, I CAN SEE US LOSING :( but all you Viking HATERS don't get excited...We got this baby!
