Vikings 28, Lions 19

The Vikings went into Detroit today and knocked off the Lions 28-19 for a rare road division win.  The Vikings improve to 4-2 on the season with this win.  The Vikings started slow in this one, they had some coverage issues that Matthew Stafford was able to exploit, but from the second quarter on it was all Vikings.  You cannot help but be impressed with the way they played today.  If their offensive line can come around, they will be a team to keep an eye on.  Nice win Vikings!

Observations:

• I don't think that Stefon Diggs is going to lose his starting spot. 
• The Vikings pass rush was relentless today. 
• You cannot stop Adrian Peterson, you can only hope to contain him. 
• The Vikings really need to do a better job with their red zone offense. 
• That was easily one of the best games I've seen from Teddy Bridgewater. 
• Blair Walsh appears to be over his early season struggles. 
• The Vikings UCLA linebacker tandem is very impressive. 
• Sharrif Floyd would have probably helped today. 
• First quarter scoring:  Lions 14, Vikings 6
• Second-Fourth quarter scoring:  Vikings 25, Lions 5
• Total Yards:  Vikings 425, Lions 274
• Time of Possession:  Vikings 36:27, Lions 23:33
• First Downs:  Vikings 25, Lions 14
• The Vikings offensive line still has lots of room for improvement. 
• That late goal line stand by the Vikings defense was huge. 
• I would have probably punted before giving up that safety late in the game.
• Brandon Fusco got taken to town by Haloti Ngata. 
• Was it the smokeless tobacco or the shrimp?  
• It may be time for a change of scenery for Matthew Stafford. 
• Up next?  @ Chicago Bears next Sunday.
