Vikes 6-1
You know what? I'm really okay with the outcome of this game. Disappointed in a loss, of course. But we did much, much better than I expected we'd do. To be within striking distance of a win at the 2 minute warning was incredibly satisfying.
Of course I'm aggravated by the mistakes, the excessive penalties, and the penalty call on Sydney Rice's catch that resulted in no score (I think the call was bull). But given that everyone seemed to think that Pittsburgh was going to blow my boys out of the water, I'm satisfied.
Rice had a great game. A.P. didn't get many chances but he had some great runs toward the end. Harvin's kickoff return was epic. But perhaps my favorite moment of the game was seeing Favre sprint down the field to provide support when Harvin went down on his bum shoulder. (Well, and the fact that Harvin was able to get right back in.) I know I'm a touchy-feely interpersonal sort, but that kind of team connectedness (such as the Favre/Harvin mentor/mentee relationship) makes me incredibly happy to be a Minnesota Vikings fan.
Skol, Vikings!
