The Minnesota Vikings dominated the Detroit Lions Sunday afternoon beating them by an impressive 30 points.

If you look at the Vikings offensive stats nothing really stands out even though they put up 37 points as an offense, although Ryan Longwell had 5 field goal attemps. Brett Favre failed to complete 50% of his passes. While Adrian Peterson has yet to eclipse 4 yards a carry in a game, but he did find the enzone 3 times. The story of the game was Toby Gerhart coming into the game as the starter to start the 2nd half in a game that was still close, 17-7. Gerhart struggled though, and averaged 2.3 yard per rush. The Vikings defense was flawless sacking Stafford 3 times, one of which was a fumble picked up by Jared Allen in the endzone.

The Lions only bright-spot was Calvin Johnson who caught 6 balls and had an amazing 207 yards including a touchdown of 73 yards.

The Vikings have their bye week next week, and then head to the New Meadowlands Stadium to take on the Jets in week 5. The Lions head to Lambeau Field to tangle with the Packers led by Matt Flynn since Aaron Rodgers is out for the year.
