I was not a Wright fan. But when the sit CP, the others get more chances to play, and more balls thrown their way. Cp is just, well, not good for this team now. The other WRs have stepped up. That was some awesome blocking, and a burst of speed I didn't know Wright had.
How many come from behind wins does Teddy have now? He already has more than Culpepper ever had in his whole career. If the game was on the line Pepps little hands were going to fumble.
I thought the story of this game for the Vikes was their red zone defense. The Jets moved the ball well today but the Vikes forced them to settle for FGs (or turned them away with a turnover) again and again. If NY had been able to score TDs on most of those drives, they might have won in a blowout. Instead, the Vikes D was able to hang tough, make plays , and the Vikes won a close game.
I was very impressed with Teddy today. It's looking more and more like the game is slowing down for him and he made some nice throws down the field in this one.
I feel for the Jets and their fans. That team is clearly playing hard and they've been very close to winning their last 2 games. They just keep making critical mistakes. Honestly, I think they should keep Ryan and try to give him a better roster.
Anyway, that was a satisfying win. Kudos to the Vikes and give Wright a game ball!

I was a big fan of Martavis Bryant, he had a 100 yards+ and a score today. Oh well. Game ball to Charles Johnson, talk about a guy playing above his pay grade.

I think 3.
