I'll give you that.

True. That was definitely part of the answer. Going from a piss poor quarterback to a good young rookie with tons more potential. The other was a young, fast, hard-hitting defense. Vikings were ranked dead last (32nd) in total team defense a year ago, this year moved up to 11th.

I'm really looking forward to next year as Bridgewater and the defense get even more experience and maybe AP will be back.

AP is done in Minnesota

This is a very boring game

Even HOF Emmitt Smith held out for 2 games in '93 for two games. Dumb Jerry didn't sing him before the season began. Let's see what Murray comes up with.

Allowing Tony to get sacked so much.... Without a better D, then Dallas does not deserve to play for the Title game, imo.

I think I would enjoy seeing Indy getting beaten by the Hawks, more than Payton or the Patriots QB.

Well said, and I agree.
It was a very good game, and could've gone either way.

Hopefully this Denver/Indy game can be just a thrilling.....well at least in the 2nd half.

Talib struggling

[Brady_2_Moss]

Talib is getting killed. Wonder when we will see the hamsting act up like always so he has to come out

[Navster]

Manning run is over, he needs to retire his arm is done, no velocity, just air balls... goodnight Donkeys

[Tony208]

can't believe he has had 8 with all those colts teams...

[Moviefan1203]

Denver's running game will probably get them through this game, but this is definitely a team in decline.

Denver's run has been a little hit or miss: Getting stuffed for losses a few times but also putting some big first down runs on.

[walruswarrior]

No touch on Manning's passes outside of the first scoring drive.

He's trying too many big ones. He needs to learn the value of a good dink n dunk drive.

Edit: Another big attempt, another nobody home

Manning can't hit a barn right now

Colts are daring him to air it out.
