Offense: B. Bradford was efficient under pressure; Thielen and Patterson made up for loss of Diggs.

Defense: A. This is historic stuff. Vikings are beating up great QBs and terrorizing lesser QBs.

Special teams: A. Sherels with another TD, Walsh was perfect, and Patterson contributed again in coverage.

Coaching: A. Zimmer's defense with an overpowering performance; Norv is making offense run despite O-line injuries and no Diggs.
