Vikings explode for 42 points against tough Seattle defense
The Vikings defense shut down Marshawn Lynch besides an 80 yard touchdown to end the 1st half. They held Russell Wilson to under 200 yards passing, and once again the defense forced turnovers. Jasper Brinkley recovered 2 fumbles, Adrian Peterson rushed for 2 scores, and Christian Ponder threw 3 scores, two to newly acquired Randall Cobb, and 1 more to Cruz.
The Vikings are clicking on all cylinders, especially the defense. If the Vikings keep this up, another postseason berth will be on the horizon.

Vikings defense scores 2 touchdowns in rout of Bears
The Bears fumbled the opening kickoff to the Vikings, and never looked back. The Vikings recovered 4 Bears fumbles, and returned 2 for scores. They also picked off struggling quarterback Cole Lowe twice. Sam Shields had a great game filling in for Tarus Bogan, scoring a defensive touchdown off of a fumble, and an interception. Chad Greenway had the other touchdown.
The Vikings are now 2-1, and hope to keep the streak alive as they improved their run defense this week.

Vikings run defense disappoints in loss to Steelers
Leslie Frazier addressed the media after the loss to the Steelers, saying "we will figure out our run defense". A defense that was number 1 in the league last year has allowed back to back 100 yard rushers. The Vikings put themselves in an early 17-0 hole they couldn't dig themselves out of.

Christian Ponder leads Vikings to late victory in comeback game
Christian Ponder didn't look like he had missed any time. He spread the ball around very well in this game, something the offense missed last year in the playoff run. Adrian Peterson ran well, and Brandon Bolden chipped in with a touchdown to give Adrian a breather.
Randall Cobb had a great debut in the purple, catching 6 balls for 87 yards, including key 3rd down conversions. He is a key player in the Vikings offense.
The only downside to the victory is that All Pro corner Tarus Bogan broke his arm after he intercepted a Matthew Stafford pass. He will miss 3-4 weeks.
