The Patriots are in Minnesota tonight to play the Vikings.
My son Justin graduated from Minnetonka HS in Minnesota and is rooting for the Vikes tonight. The Pats took the opening kickoff and marched straight down the field to score a touchdown. The Vikings stormed back to only cough up the football to the Pats Rodney Harrison who intercepted Brad Johnson at the one yard line. The Pats marched downfield and stalled on this drive and settled for a field goal.
The Pats have taken contol of this game and lead 17-0 at the half. I'll bet Justin is bumming out right now.
Second half has started and both teams have had to punt.
Vikiings have just returned a punt for a touchdown. 17-7 Pats
Patriots return the favor by a great kickoff return by Laurence Maroney then Brady marches in to score another TD. 24-7. Pats
Pats catch a big break as the refs make a bad call on a pass play from Brad Johnson to Jerome Wiggins (ex-patriot) refs call it incomplete when clearly he had possession of the ball and the ball was stripped from his hands.
Pats march down the field and rookie Rechee Caldwell loses the ball as he was popped by a Viking defender. Pats challenge the play and lose the call.
Patriots score again. Chad Jackson catches a pass from Brady and crawls in 31-7. Pats
At 4:27 left in the 4th quarter Pats rest Brady for backup Cassell. Pats punt and at 1:59 today I emailed my son Justin and wrote him that the final score would be Pats 31 Vikes 14. Oh well only 1:53 left in the game.
Vikes make a big gain to the Pats 19, then they get to the 16 and Bollinger throws it away to Ellis Hobbs for a 70 yard interception.
FINAL
Patriots 31
Vikings 7
