Overall Performance

As a whole this was actually a very good game for the Minnesota Vikings, they are who we thought they were. The problem is the Titans knew who they were going to be with Shaun Hill at quarterback and they had our offense schemed perfectly. The offense did its job by giving the Vikings multiple scoring opportunities, sustaining drives and giving Blair Walsh 6 field goal attempts of which he converted 4.

Generally when you hear of a team with 0 offensive touchdowns, 65 total rushing yards, a QB rating of 77, and 2 missed field goals one would assume that would be the losing team. That would be until you tell them about the masterful defense that in the second half returned an interception and a fumble for a touchdown, that when combined with 4 made field goals is the recipe for a week 1 victory.
