Back to reality for the Vikes today.
We took the opening kickoff and moved right down the field ultimately scoring a TD. Man, it looked easy. NE punted on their first series and things looked great.
Then on a 2nd and 16 from our 25, Cassel tried to throw a post route deep down the middle. It was intercepted at the Pats 40 and somehow the guy gets up and returns it to our 1 yd line. 2 plays later it's 7-7, and whatever momentum we had was gone.
Without Adrian Peterson, the offense had absolutely nothing (after that opening drive).
Brady wasn't spectacular, but didn't make any mistakes. I think Cassel ended up with 4 INT's.
Back to the drawing board.
