Weak 3

Domination only matters on the scoreboard.

The Minnesota Vikings have been outscored 67-6 in the second half and overtime.

That's about all I have to say about that.

No, actually it's not. Convert 3rd downs! The Vikings have been horrible at converting them in all three games, especially in the second half. Adrian Peterson has to handle the ball on third and short, as well as the fourth and one yesterday. It's nice to use Peterson as a decoy on occasion, but if you are having issues converting you have to put the ball in the hands of your best player. Convert only a handful of those second half third downs, a couple each game, the Vikings are likely 3-0.

Jared Allen did his best to win the game all by himself in the final minute of regulation. He forced Lions tackle Jeff Backus to jump twice. He then destroyed Backus to sack Matthew Stafford and then nearly tackled Jahvid Best for a safety. In a dismal start to the season, Adrian Peterson and Jared Allen have been fantastic.

I like that rookie tight end Kyle Rudolph is getting more opportunities. He's a good one, could be a great one.

The Vikings can not have another second half disaster next week against the Kansas City Chiefs.

I'm not sure how long the Buffalo Bills can ride this wave, but their comeback against the New England Patriots didn't surprise me. I don't think that the Bills can stick with the Patriots all season, but they could sneak past the New York Jets for a wildcard spot. The Bills are a good team. It's not a fluke. But, what do I know?

The Bears are ridiculous, but they really look the part in those orange jerseys.

Perfect Chicago Bears name: Tyler Clutts.

Speaking of the Bears, I wish that the media folks would stop calling the Bears-Packers rivalry the longest in league history. It's not. The Bears-Cardinals have played one year longer. When both were in Chicago it was fierce even if it was often one-sided. The Bears and Packers have easily played the most games, but they have not been playing the longest. Fact check, folks!

The Saints-Texans game sure looked fun. Nice defense!

Nice win for the Giants.

Speaking of fun. Larry Fitzgerald sure is fun to watch.

Football is fun.

The Vikings need to make the second half of their games a lot more fun.
