The Minnesota Vikings put up another great defensive performance Monday night against the Jets. They did not let up points until 6:43 into the 3rd Quarter, and in the game let up just 14. They needed all the offense the could get because their offense had a tough time to get anything going.

Brett Favre again failed to complete 50% of his passes, throwing a touchdown and no picks in the process and Adrian Peterson eclipsed 4 yards a carry for the first time all year. Bernard Berrian came up big with just 3 catches but with 115 yards and a touchdown for 74 yards. Jared Allen had a huge night on defense with 9 tackles and 2 sacks.

The only standout for the Jets was Braylon Edwards who averaged 25.4 yards per reception and 2 touchdowns, while their defensive line had a bevy of tackles with David Harris leading the way with 8, and Shaun Ellis and Jason Taylor picking up sacks.

The Vikings head home next week to face Americas Team.
The Jets head to the mile high city to take on the Broncos.
