Cold is temporary. Purple Pride is forever.
defense can't line up over the center on punts and field goals.

Even on a punt?

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." ‪#‎SKOL2018

It's to protect the long snapper.

Missed the early 3rd quarter and ESPN's box score doesn't show, how did the Vikes get the extra 8 points? ESPN shows one TD, three FG, with the missed 2-point conversion my math says the score is 15-10.

Patterson recovered in the endzone, Pruitt had a nice catch and run but fumbled.

Seems like most of the battles are over, Berger is center, Thielen is slot. Safety is probably going to Sendejo but it was curious that he played the whole game. Did not see Grifffin after the whiff on Gordon, Exum hurt on special teams, no idea what happened to Harris. Kearse makes the team.

Other than Exum, only other injury I recall was Pruitt. I don't think MoBo got a snap. Floyd played well into the 3rd so looks like the knee is okay.

As for backups, Trattou, Lamur, Robinson, and Alexander had a good game. Thought Clemmings did alright in backup, Line had a great block on Te'o.
