Viking and Browns Boxscore
With the Vikes offense looked flat a pancake in the 1st half, sure were make many of the Viking fans starting to wonder a bit. Being down to the Browns at halftime 10-13 and the Brown hold AD and the rushing attack in that half. Good thing the Viking rushing attack woke in the second half, or it may have been a closer game than many would have liked. The Vikes did outscore the Browns 24-7 in the second half.
In the game, AD punished defenders mostly in the seond half, Peterson had 180 yards on ground with 3 TDs on 25 carries. The highlight was his 64 yard scamper for a TD in the third quater to seal the game for the Vikings.
Percy"No Mercy" Harvin had a pretty good debut into the NFL, in my opinion. he is a natural play maker, just get him the ball someway, he will make something happen. Harvin had 2 rushes for 22 yard both were 11 yards each and 3 catches for 36 yards and 1 TD reception from Favre.
Speaking of Favre, he went 14-21 110 yards and no INTS and that Harvin TD. I was pleased that he did what he was asked no to throw the game away. He made the plays when he had to, like the 2nd and 18 and completing it for the 1st down. I reminded me of the day when he was picking apart the Vikings defense. Let us all hope that Favre does not mind being the game manager QB and not the playmaker as he was in Green Bay.
The defense, did a good job holding down the Browns to a TD late in the 4th quarter in the second half. The unit also forced 2 turnover, a fumble recovery by Kevin Williams from a ball that "slipped" out of Brady's hand and an interception thrown right to Cedric Griffin. THe Vikes D was pressuring Quinn most of the game sacking him 5 times in the game.
It was a scary game in the beginning to watch, just thinking at halftime OH crap are the Vikes going to lose to the Browns. The Vikes finally started playing some ball. I want to see the next couple of week, is that Vikes to play a crisp game the entire game.
