It looked like the Favre magic was going to work again today in Pittsburgh, until a screen pass to Chester Taylor went awry, handing the Steelers a heartbreaking and game-ending pick-6.

10 Points: Vikings Fall to the Steelers
thevikingage.com 10/26/2009 — Today’s 10 points:
1. The defense played better than I ever anticipated it would given the circumstances. Big ups to the defensive line, especially Pat Williams who got back to being Pat Williams after, I thought, a weak first few games. And big ups to Karl Paymah who not only did not ...
Questionable Play Calling in Pittsburgh
tailgate365.com 10/26/2009 — There were several play calls that had me scratching my head. Brad Childress has been criticized in the past for his play calling, but since the Vikings have won all their games until Sunday, nobody really pressed the issue. Now that the Vikings have lost, there is quite a bit of ...

The way this one ended was just about every Steeler fans wet dream come true. For our money, there are few better ways to secure a win than by watching a linebacker (a backup linebacker, no less) take a pick 82 yards to the house. Unlike the rest of 2009's games, yesterday it was ...

Good on the Scoreboard, Otherwise…
thevikingage.com 10/11/2009 — Guess we shouldn’t complain – the Vikings lead 17-3 at the half against the allegedly hideous Rams. However, I don’t think the Vikings are too happy about the way they played the first two quarters. Outside of a crisp opening drive the offense has been spotty. And the ...
